Since it's a receiver and generally doesn't have any form of two-way communications, I'd say most likely not.
Best bet is to contact the manufacturer and ask them, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Yep, you could not track a GPS device until it has a communication chip, like in cell phones.

No, a stolen GPS cannot be tracked unless it has a built-in tracking feature or software. GPS devices only receive signals to determine location and do not transmit their own location data, so there is no way to track a stolen GPS using GPS technology alone.

It triangulates using cellular signals. It is very effective and can be tracked through buildings and containers.
