Quick answer: GPS tracking is legal in Kansas on any vehicle you own or co-own, or with the owner's consent. Kansas has no tracker-specific law, but using a tracker to follow someone can be charged as stalking (K.S.A. 21-5427). A plug-in OBD-II tracker shows your car or truck live on your phone and alerts you when it moves.
