Using a portable GPS tracker to track your vehicle is quite simple.  Portable GPS trackers are self contained, self powered units that do not require an external power source.  The Live Trac PT-10 Professional is one such portable GPS tracker.

In the photo below, the PT-10 is installed covertly to the underside of a SUV.  It took seconds to secure the PT-10 with included magnetic mount case to the frame of the vehicle.
