| This has an onboard GPS, is there software or a site that if I plug a code it will track the movement of the truck on a home computer, we plan on travlin and I would like our kids to know where we are at any given time. |

Unless you have access to the military's sophisticated satellites, the only way to do this is by purchasing and/or subscribing to a local tracking service which will install a unit in your truck that can be later tracked and accessed via the internet.
Honda's nav unit (unlike GM's notorious On-Star system) homes in on a minum of three satellites which when the signal is triangulated, can pin-point (to a fair amount of precision) your location on a digitized map. |

Try sharperimage.com. Just got a new catalog yesterday that has a portable tracking device that you can put in the glove compartment and you can track via the internet. It even shows the speed that the vehicle is going!
Seems like a nifty item |
