Drivers choose when to initiate tracking and then Visibility Drive will provide background location updates as long as a shipment is in progress on the device. In order to end a shipment’s tracking immediately, select the Shipment Options button and choose “Exit Shipment”. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
