|o1D= is an optional variable that defines the group name. If not present the function will generate a new name based on country, category, and groupId. '''If it is the same as a pre-existing group, this function will overwrite and remove that group existing from the mission.'''
|o2D= is an optional variable that defines the group Id. If not present the function will generate a new group Id based off of the number of existing groups. '''If it is the same as a pre-existing groups Id, this function will overwrite and remove that existing group from the mission.'''
|o3D= is an optional variable that defines whether or not it should treat the passed group data as a clone. If present it will create a new group Id and groupName regardless if you passed a custom name or Id.
|o4D= is an optional variable that defines the default route assigned to the group. Function is overloaded to accept it as either:
<pre>
route.points = {
[1] = {pointTable},
[2] = {pointTable},

},

or
