Most mobile trackers use both systems.

Complete different technology. But with GPRS you can track position although its not as acurate as GPS. As you move, your phone will continously attach to the nearest base station which is providing the strongest connection to your nearest cell.

Actually a it doesn't have to be GPRS for this. GSM will do just fine (Sony X somatorother)

You could even use the micro to log data which you could download when the unit returns to base, then if there is a problem with transmission you still have a record.

what we thought of was using phones are a bike computer. Using GPRS(thought) to pin point map possitions. Then using an altimeter for height above sea level, that way if the bikes climbing how high its travelled upwards etc
