Quick answer: GPS tracking is legal in Hawaii on any vehicle you own, or with the owner's consent. Putting a tracker on someone else's vehicle without consent or a court order is a class C felony (HRS 803-42). A plug-in OBD-II tracker shows your car or truck live on your phone and alerts you when it moves.
