I have one that looks to be pretty much the same as this (similar price, also eBay) in my Spider. Just popped in a pre-pay SIM with £5 credit on it. You can configure it for live tracking if you have more data allowance, but I just have it set to the basic function.
All you do is to text the SIM in the tracker and it then texts back a link (URL) to google maps and information about speed and direction. If you have a smartphone, just click the link and, hey presto, you can see where you car is. Very good accuracy and no on-going costs as long as you keep the SIM topped up. I just have a Vectone one that came with £5 free credit that doesn't expire and it works a treat - as long as you can get a signal.
