I just did a search for GPS, forensics and found a lot of websites for law enforcement that tell about getting data from consumer GPS units. Here is a short cut from one.

I agree with you they didn't say what kind of GPS it was. But I still am wary of GPS systems in trucks. Cell phones, computers and GPS's are becoming more common in trucks. Law enforcement has a lot more tools available to look at all these things after a crash. It has come a long way from the days of comparing your fuel receipts to your log book to see if you were behaving and getting lots of rest. If we all lived in a perfect world we wouldn't have anything to worry about. But if we all lived in a perfect world, we wouldn't have wrecks and people getting killed out on the highway. We just do the best we can.
