I am in the mood to add an extra level of security to my car, the kind that Onstar provides for example. I want to be able to check the location of my vehicle at anytime from anywhere if I suspect my car is stolen. What I need is a way to make a module from my car send a signal about its GPS coordinates. I don't know yet how I should receive the signal, perhaps a cellphone that dials out?
Also a main point is the module must keep checking for its GPS location every 5 minutes and if there is a difference of more than 5 meters (for maximum gps error tolerance) while armed, the car should send a signal continuously and/or dial my cellphone. Any ideas on where I can start? Thanks.
Mark

Omega makes a unit called the GPS2000. You can track the vehicle from the internet. It is a really nice unit. You can have it contact you when the vehicle goes over a predetermined speed and also have the police track the car while you track it also.
check it out @ GPS2000.com
