Do you have to subscribe to gps service?
The signals that a GPS receiver or Sat Nav system uses to calculate its position are broadcast freely and globally by the GPS satellites orbiting earth 20,000Kms away. As there is no way for the GPS satellites to know who or what is receiving or using the signals that they broadcast, it would be impossible to charge people for their use. Much like free to air TV or radio. Subsequently, the GPS service is free. The hardware required to use it however will cost you.
Is there an inexpensive way to detect a gps tracking signal?
The signal for GPS systems originates from satellites that orbit above the earth. This means that the "signal" that is used for GPS tracking is pretty much everywhere, and therefore cannot be "homed" in on using standard radio location techniques. The GPS tracking unit is therefore a receiver of signal, not a transmitter like an audio "bug" or wireless video camera. Locating a GPS "tracking device" is probably possible using advanced equipment that would not be readily accessible to most people. This would also mean that said equipment would not be "inexpensive", either.
