Area Type: Polygons 

To create polygons as delivery zones.

1. Open Google Maps and click on the hamburger menu
   
   
   
   
   
   

2. Click on “Your places”, “Maps” and “Create map”
   
   
   
   

3. Once the map is open, click on the “Draw a line” icon to draw the polygon.
   
   
   
   
   

4. Give a clear name to your polygon (e.g “Area 1 - $4”) to easily identify the file when you export it.

   a. Give the same name to the layer on which the polygon is.

   b. You can create several polygons on the same map but they need to be created on different layers.
   c. Note that the maximum number of layers per map is 10.

5. To add a layer, click on “Add layer” and you will be able to draw a new polygon.

a. Repeat as many times as the number of delivery zones you need.

6. Once you are done, export the delivery zones by clicking on the menu on the right side of the map name and click “Export to KML/KMZ”

7. Select the layer in the dropdown menu.

8. Check the box “Export as KML instead of KMZ. Does not support all icons” and click “Download”

Area Type: Radius

• If your delivery areas are defined according to a radius, follow the steps below to set them up in the back office 

1. Retrieve location latitude and longitude

a. Open Google Maps

b. Type in the address of the location

c. Get the latitude and longitude from the URL. They will be the last numbers at the end of the URL.

 

In the example above, the latitude is 43.7612124 and the longitude is -79.4101104. Make sure that you select the dash for the longitude, otherwise, you will end up setting up delivery areas for a completely different location.

2. Create Radius

1. To create the radius, go to: https://www.freemaptools.com/radius-around-point.htm

2. To show the map, click on “Click here to load the map” and click “OK” to the message.” This page can't load Google Maps correctly.”

 

3. Enter the following information:

a. radius (in kms or miles)

b. latitude and longitude

4. Click on “Draw Radius”

A green circle will appear with a pin indicating the location position from the latitude and longitude entered

 

5. Click on “Generate KML” to export the file.

 

3. Import the Radius in Google Maps' My Maps

1. To open My Maps, follow the steps described in Zone Type 1: Polygons
2. When you are at the screen below, click “Import” and upload the file you downloaded from https://www.freemaptools.com/radius-around-point.htm
   

    
3. Rename both the layer and area with a clear name (e.g. Area 1, $6)
   

    
4. To add a layer, click on “Add layer” and you will be able to import another file.
5. To export your file and upload it in the maegan^TM Manager, follow  the steps described in Zone Type 1: Polygons.

Add Delivery Area in the Back-office (for polygons and radius)

13. Upload KML file for the delivery area

14. Click Save button to save your changes

Note: Upload KML files that have only one zone defined without any subdivisions for a specific delivery charge (e.g “Zone 4 - $4” is one KML file and “Zone 5 - $5” is another one, one KML file regrouping Zone 4 and 5 will not be recognized by the platform)

15. Add a KML file for each delivery area and click “Save”.
