    A question like "stalking mania" - can someone track my Garmin with GPS if they had access to it? Can this be prevented? Should you get rid of the equipment and look for a new one?
    thank you in advance

    Can you translate into Polish?
    This is a GPS receiver, so you can't find it.
    Well, unless you mean that it is, for example, from an illegal source, that's what the serial numbers are for.

    GPS in the standard version used in navigation works in one direction. It is only a receiver, and all positioning is done in the device by measuring the time needed for the signal to reach the receiver. To sum up, without additional elements such as a sim card, it is not possible to pass the device's position on.

    It is the most legal - I was just wondering if the device sends a signal, for example by connecting to a satellite that would allow it to be tracked. I assume that it sends a signal because how would it be to determine its position needed to measure time / pace and to draw the route later.

    Can the standard version be enriched enough to be localized? theoretically, the device is so small that it is difficult to imagine it and hardly has any space for the card.

    It sends nothing because it is a receiver.

    No - for locating there must be a special device containing a complete transmitter with a SIM card.

    Positioning is complicated and requires receiving signals from at least four satellites.

Topic summary

Garmin GPS devices function primarily as receivers, meaning they do not transmit location data on their own. Tracking a Garmin device requires additional components, such as a SIM card and a transmitter, which are not typically included in standard GPS models. The positioning process relies on signals from multiple satellites, and without a transmitter, the device cannot be tracked. Users concerned about privacy should ensure their device lacks any tracking capabilities or consider using devices specifically designed for tracking if necessary.
