This isn't exactly what this assignment is about but I thought it was kind of interesting. Surveillance-Spy-Cameras.com offers a tiny gps tracking device that can receive texts and respond to the texts with the device's location.

So the idea (as they actually suggest on the site) is that you can put the tiny gps device in a "glove compartment, a lunch pail, a back pack, a purse, or even on a piece of farm machinery"... the whole thing strikes me as pretty creepy... I'm not sure why they mention farm machinery. But I'm sure it could also have plenty of non-stalkerish uses for the enterprising mind.

 

It doesn't actually take any location info from you. Basically all it is is that you can send an sms message and in return you receive your device's gps location which you can then plug into google maps to view. You can do it simply with your own phone service, or they give you the option to sign up for their (very expensive) service online, which gives the added benefit of allowing you to see logs of the device's gps location for the last 30 days. You know, in case stalking someone for just one day isn't enough for you.

 

The device is around $700 but it does come with a magnetic waterproof case so you can sneakily stick it under people's cars or whatever.
