  Modern tracking tools are using wifi, A-GPS, and satelite repeater....where tracking via sats get assisted via GSM beacon, internet or simply extended satelite signals. Jargons and technicalities aside,  it is already possible for vehicular tracking device to go underground and waterways.

  Also, outdoor and mil spec GPS without the assisted function can already track without direct exposure to clear sky. Those green 'bricks' used in SAF training are 10 years old so line-of-sight is still needed to get a fix.

  I think you need to know through the person's subscribing telco by GSM if their phone is turned on.
  Unless police involved and they ask from them, I guess it is not available to anyone under normal circumstances.
  
  It does not give the exact location though, Google Map on my Windows Mobile device shows me anywhere not exactly in a 1km radius.
