What is a GPS Jamming Device?
A GPS jammer is a type of signal jammer that effectively blocks the location of the vehicle from being visible to an external tracker.

GPS jammers are relatively small devices that can be plugged into a lighter port on any vehicle to emit radio signals to interfere with weak GPS signals over a radius of between 5 and 10 meters.
