I don’t assume so on the gps but yes if you use the cell mobile phone and laptop.

If an individual has placed a GPS monitoring system (not a navigation technique you purchased at Greatest Acquire or the like) they can monitor it. If it has OnStar GM can monitor it if you push the OnStar button.
Cell phones can be tracked to the nearest tower.
Laptop computer can be tracked to the IP tackle you’re connected to.

A cell phone can be tracked to within about 100m when it is switched on and in sight of cell towers. That is a very rough estimate, in a city with lots of towers the accuracy is better, in remote locations it can be a good deal even worse.
If your dad and mom pay your mobile phone bill then they may possibly be capable to do that without you realizing, if the cellphone is in your title then the tracking service is needed to notify you.
A laptop computer alone is not possible to track. Even so if it employs a mobile modem then that can be tracked. If it is connected to the internet then it is doable to trace where the connection is but that isn’t trivial, it would be past most dad and mom computer abilities.
GPS systems for giving you driving directions cannot usually be tracked, GPS only gives you your location, it doesn’t tell everyone else. To track someone utilizing GPS demands a GPS with a built in modem or some other way of finding the spot details out of the GPS.
Nonetheless most in automobile GPS methods immediately log where you have been so that it’s less difficult for you to go back again there once more. Which indicates your parents could search at your GPS when you get again and discover out in which you went.
The simplest way to stay away from currently being tracked by any of these points is to just change them off.
