To find a GPS ("Grasshopper's Penis and Scrotum") look in the glove compartment.

The State patrol vehicle inspection office can run a scan on your car for a few dollars.

Typically, GPS units are receivers. They receive signals from satellites to tell you where you are. If it is installed in your car, you can't detect it if it has been secretly put there. It won't transmit any signal, but when the person takes it out, they can download information about the places, times, speeds etc. that have affected it.

The GPS unit is totally passive and will not reveal itself directly.
First method. If it was installed to track your whereabouts over an extended time, it will have to use your vehicles power source as most GPS units have a limited battery life in the order of 12 hours. This provides the opportunity to locate it by searching for new wires and following them to the unit.
Second method. GPS units must have a clear view of the sky so that the unit or an attached antenna will need to be located in an area of the car that can be seen electronically from above. (It can be covered by fabric or plastic but not steel.)
If I were going to plant a GPS on you, I would tap the battery from the starter connections and secure the unit under the plastic cover of the front bumper.
