I own a Garmin Street pilot GPS for my car?

Question

If my GPS is stolen is there a way it can be tracked?

Answer 1

No, because it doesn't transmit, only receives. It has no way of transmitting its position to something that could relay its location to the owner. Your best bet is to copy down the serial number and etch it in somewhere on the unit itself and hope that it ends up in a pawn shop that will check the database if it gets stolen. I had one stolen out of my car (where they did damage to the car which cost 5x as much to fix than the GPS was worth) and I had the serial number written down. 5 years later I still haven't got it back and I probably never will. Hide it real good! There are some not nice people out there...

Answer 2

Unfortunately, no. Your GPS is only a receiver, not a transmitter. The best thing you can do at this point would be to call GARMIN product support and tell them you have a stolen unit, and give them your serial number. You would also want to register it in your name at their website. Also, when you call them you should get a police report so they can register it as a stolen unit so if whoever has your unit calls in and gives the serial number, GARMIN will know it is a stolen unit and will take the appropriate action.
