How to track a stolen Canon EOS camera using SDHC memory card?

Few year back I've purchased Eye-Fi Pro X2 for my Canon EOS digital camera.

Unfortunately the camera has been stolen and during that time I had my photo sync disabled in Eye-Fi Center (which is now deprecated) and I couldn't do anything to activate it back remotely (either to re-activate sync of the photos or track the thief location based on the access point where the card is connected to).

Since now X2 is End of Life anyway and I couldn't do anything at the time, I'd like to know what I can do in the future to deal with similar situations using the latest version of Eye-Fi SDHC memory cards.

In other words, I'd like to know whether it's possible to track the location of the lost camera remotely (assuming the camera is on with its card intact), or at least re-activating disabled photo sync remotely (assuming the card has been registered correctly). What should I activate or configure in order to prepare for the next potential incident?
