I'm a high school student working on an anti-theft project and I kind of think I'm in way over my head. Maybe if someone could help explain a couple things for me since I'm having trouble find it on the internet. I want to build a small GPS receiver into portable electronice devices. If that's the case, (let's say that that electronic device got stolen) would I be able to track it through a some sort of program on my PC/notebook or through a website or something. Where can I buy the components to build the GPS receiver and how much would it cost me? What programs would I have to have for this to work?

Please explain everything

If it helps, I already know much about programming. i know C++ and JAVA, and I know how to create a website and about webpage/website design.

It would be great if you could site a source too.

Thanks!!!
