Here's what you need to know:

Whether you've got reason to think that the Feds might be tracking your car via GPS, are being stalked by an ex-girlfriend/boyfriend, or are just plain paranoid, the 12v cigarette lighter GPS jammer may be just the thing to put you at ease. According to the specs, the device can block GPS signals within a 6-12 foot radius which should be sufficient for most cars.
