# Navigation App Preference, Zone Drawing & Dashboard Polishes

A late spring maintenance and mini-update to help make the busy season just a little bit easier.

**Navigation App Preference**\
From the beginning, BDP provided navigation linking that leveraged only Google Maps. With this release, drivers can choose between Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze Navigation when being directed to a delivery. In areas with newly created neighborhoods and ever-evolving satellite imagery, this is a game changer. Some platforms update faster than others; this makes it fast and easy to toggle between them when looking for an address.

**Zone Drawing Library**\
Google deprecated their Drawing Library as of May 2026. We researched replacement options and decided to move this entire segment of BDP to Mapbox. Hopefully, the tools are so similar that you won't even notice the change!

**Driver Dashboard Future Assign** \
Initially, we felt that allowing future orders to be assigned to drivers might be confusing or lead to early deliveries. However, feedback from dispatchers indicates this isn't a concern and that pre-assigning deliveries directly from the driver dashboard would be highly valuable. Done!

**Additional Payment Methods**\
BDP is now configured to allow for self-managment of additional payment methods from within customer Stripe Dashboards.  Want to accept BNPL options (like Klarna, Afterpay, or Affirm), light it up! The same is true for digital wallets (like Samsung Pay, Amazon Pay or Cash App Pay).

**Stay Tuned**\
We have some exciting new features that we're working on with plans for release very soon!
