Since it's a receiver and generally doesn't have any form of two-way communications, I'd say most likely not.

Best bet is to contact the manufacturer and ask them, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Yep, you could not track a GPS device until it has a communication chip, like in cell phones.

Why would your spouse be allowed to install a device in your mobile phone without your knowledge?

If the phone is in her name she can activate a GPS device to trace the whereabouts of the phone when it is turned on. Most carriers will however send a text message that states the phone is being tracked. There is a setting that you can go to- GPS or 911 or emergency only. Emergency only should be selected if you do not want to be tracked. You can turn the phone off - no need to take out battery- and you cannot be tracked.

Newer ones can. there was a story on the news a couple months ago where a trucker was charged for a crime because they tracked his gps and where he was on the day of the crime, and he was caught.

Even GPS enabled cell phones can be tracked too. However, when you buy a GPS navigation device, that is what we usually called GPS, it may not be tracked as it is not intended for tracking purpose.
