When radar stations on the Earth monitor the location and movements of satellites, they are said to be tracking the satellites.
Satellite tracking devices are best used to locate vehicles in real time. This technology can be useful to companies for tracking shipments. Satellite tracking device can also be useful if you have it installed in your vehicle and your vehicle is stolen. The following website offers some detail as to how this technology works, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracking_device

Take a look at the link below from NOLA.com. It has links to satellite views and news about Hurricane Gustav.
Geolocation tags, or geolocators, are placed on animals for the purpose of tracking their movements. Depending on the type of transmitter in the tag, either radio tracking or satellite tracking may be used.
I would say they are both highly advanced and are used for tracking things/people but a satellite is more advanced with being able to live in and what not
South Africa's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Satellite Applications Centre is a satellite tracking facility located in Hartebeesthoek, 60 kilometres north of Johannesburg.
