These settings determine how Maica manages Maps and its function throughout the application. Please refer to the below table for more information on each setting:
Google API Key
This is your that can be set up in your Google administration platform. By using your own Google Maps API Key, it will be possible to report, within the Google platform, on all requests, locations, routes requested via Maica. To ensure Maica functions correctly, the following APIs must be enabled in your Google project:
Routes API
Geocoding API
For guidance on enabling these APIs and retrieving your API key, please refer to the section .
Travel Warning Tolerance (Minutes)
Maica warns you if the required travel time exceeds to the available time prior to any given Appointment. In other words, if you are not going to make it on time, Maica alerts you to this via a warning icon. This setting defines the tolerance duration used to determine when this warning should display.
An example might be setting this tolerance to 5 minutes which means that if Google estimates you to be late by more than 5 minutes, the warning will show.
Default Origin/Destination Order
This determines the order in which Maica calculates the distance and travel time required to get to/from any given Appointment. In other words, what origin and destination Maica will use first, second, and so forth to calculate the initial travel times.
