Map polygons represent the physical boundaries of a service territory in Field Service.
While you can draw a polygon on the Classic Dispatch Console map, you can also import one in KML
(Keyhole Markup Language). For example, cities may provide public KML files so you can create
service territories whose boundaries correspond exactly to the city borders.

Before you import a polygon in KML, make sure that you meet these requirements.
The longitude values range between -180 to +180. These values are the first numbers in
each coordinate line.
The latitude values range between -90 to +90. These values are the second numbers in each
coordinate line.
To clearly define the start and end of the polygon, the first and last coordinates must be
identical.
To prevent a self-intersecting or invalid polygon, make sure that there are no duplicate
coordinates, except for the first and last coordinates.
To import a polygon in KML, click the Map Polygons custom object tab in Salesforce and click
New. Add a name, color, description, and service territory. In the
KML Details field, add your KML text. Make sure that each set of coordinates has its own
line.
