It should take just a few minutes to complete this crude GPS tracker. It is made out of FRS or PMR446 two-way radios and a Garmin GPS receiver. You could probably use any other GPS receiver and the range of this tracker is around 2-3km - depending on the two-way radios range.
What's interesting to me is that this configuration actually does work: RS232 output from Garmin is connected to microphone input of one radio with only two wires. At the other (receiver) side, instead of a speaker, a wire with a COM port connector is soldered and connected to PC with Google Earth and Earth Bridge installed.
It is a very simple hack that works but I would really like to see some opto-isolators here.

I agree, some FSK modulation would be perfect for this (ham packet radio). That means it would
need FSK demodulator at the receiving end and that would be the real deal.

Opto isolation is not needed, both are running on batteries, and if you have a common ground
that is perfectly O.K.
However the bit rate of most GPSs is 4800 bit/s so the signal sent over radio in this way is
not likely to work, or be a particular good design/robust/functional. Bandwith of your radio
is at most 11.5 kHz.
A small uC that acts as a modem however would make this a real system.
