That's illegal pal . Your basically saying you want to see where you colleague is when your not there . If it's not your van and they ain't your employees then you have no right to monitor the van .
Or if I've got it wrong you can buy GPRS trackers on ebay for circa £40 that have a PAYG sim in . You text it and it replies with a location point .

As said, just grab one of the 'Hong Kong' specials off eBay (can get them cheaper than £40), it'll be reasonably accurate.

It'll send you the devices GPS coordinates (longitude and latitude), you then just bung that into Google Maps or similar
