If the Gps is a real time unit that transmits its location, then you can detect it with any standard bug detector. The problem comes when the GPS is a passive record only type. This is the type that needs to be removed and downloaded to a computer to find where the unit "has been".

I have been trying to find a way to detect there passive units and have not been successful.
