Any practical advice as I have heard different ways to use them to set up, for example delivery routes on this site.

mine managed to cancel a parcel pick up all by itself whilst in the pocket of my wet shorts tuesday, noticed it had dissappeared off the screen when i got to the customer , she said she had a text saying we couldn"t pick it up so she took it to the post office .
