The number of orders on the driver route and in the order detail did not match
In Driver route, the number of orders showed the orders that were open. In the order details on the Dispatch Board, the driver order total showed the total of all orders including delivered and cancelled.

Driver display on map
When driver is On Duty and his Driver App location service is set to Always, the driver displays on the map.
When driver is Away and his Driver App location is set to Always, the driver displays on the map at his last position while he was On Duty and shows with a ! on the icon after a couple of minutes and will disappear from the map after 10-15 minutes of being set to Away.
When driver is Off Duty and his Driver App location is set to Always, the driver will not be displayed on the map.
Note: When Driver App location is set to Only While Using, the driver location will only show when the application is in the foreground and On Duty, this is why it is important to set the Driver App location to Always.
