Diesel Brothers - GPS speed locks
Watching Diesel Brothers on Discovery and they were building a 6 wheel drive 6 wheel steering truck. To lock out the rear wheels from steering they used a GPS device set to 15mph to lock out the rear steer.
Then I got an idea. Set the GPS to xx MPH and then over that speed set it to kill fuel pump, send an alert, enable an alarm etc... 1999 Defender TD5 110

not sure you're allowed to do that as it could be dangerous......possibly the following falls into the same category;

use GPS to drop relay energising HT coil connected to drivers heated seat. Thumbs Up

You could probaby have the gps cut throttle response above set speed. that doesnt kill the engine, but limits acceleration.

The new cars in kuwait have that feature built into the ecu.

Err, how is that any different from the speed limiter we all have in our Puma?... You don't need a GPS for that. “A Land Rover immobilized is a moral defeat for the driver and bad publicity for the vehicle, […] it's up to you to do justice to your Land Rover!” - Land Rover Driving Technique.

The cheapo trackers on Amazon/ebay have the option to be wired into the fuel pump. If you enable the tracker's alarm, you can have the fuel pump disabled if anyone attempts to move the vehicle.
I was always too worried about the consequences of wiring a £25 piece of crap from China into a safety critical component to try it myself.
