Continuous tracking is crucial for theft prevention and recovery, but be aware that some devices may stop tracking if the battery is low or there are technical issues.

Want to keep tabs on where your ATV goes? GPS trackers:
- Log trip history and provide detailed location history for every ride
- Track speed, distance, and idle time, and let you see the exact location of your ATV during and after each trip
