You cannot assign deliveries or dispatch drivers!?


There is an issue with the API Key License used for integrating with google maps. It's either missing or outdated. 


The api key is handled either by the location or possibly HQ.

2. Creating and editing KML files


KML is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth.  It stands for "Keyhole markup language" and "Keyhole systems" was the name of the company Google acquired and then turned into Google Earth. 


There are many online resources to and tools online to create .kml files, but here are two to get you started:
