2. Find the Map Access section
3. Toggle the switch to change between Public and Private
4. Change takes effect immediately

When to Use Public Maps

Choose Public if:

• Customers need to look up their service day
• You want to share zone info on your website
• External partners need zone visibility

When to Use Private Maps

Choose Private (recommended) if:

• Zone information is confidential
• Map is only for internal staff
• You want to control who sees your coverage

Private Map Login

When your map is private:

• Visitors to your map URL are redirected to login
• Only team members with accounts can access
• The admin panel always requires login regardless of this setting
