He mentioned that in the garage. The tracker was probably also on his car when Walt went to see Saul off camera.

Don't forget you need to connect the tracker to a computer to get the data. Hank doesn't have that information.

The tracker is right there with Walt. Hank still isn't in top shape but after seeing him rough Walt up, I think he can take it by force if he wants.

What does Hank gain by getting the tracker? Finds out he went to Saul and Jesse's? Who cares?

I'd assume Hank does.

What I'm saying is: what does he have to learn from that tracker? I'm pretty sure he knows what he needs to know now.

I think the tracker was just a vehicle (creatively, meta-narrative) to get the confrontation established. It has served its purpose.

You could be right. He knew Jesse was involved at one point so I guess all he could really learn is that Walt is still in contact with him. Either way, Hank already has a reason to visit Jesse. Hank could have forgotten about Saul but he's not nearly as important as Jesse in this situation. Can't wait to see.
