This screen provides a map showing the device's current position, the site (warehouse) and all of the stores' locations as waypoints on the map. The store waypoints are shown as blue markers on the map. Green circles around the store waypoint markers indicate the geo-fences based on the configured Geo-fence radius set in the application settings e.g. 500m.
Calculating Route: clicking the Calculate Route button will perform a calculation to determine the best route to take from the site (warehouse) and passing through all the stores' as stopovers.
