Turning yarbo in place with the controller seems way slower than when it does a turn on a work plan. It would’ve nice if there was a shortcut button to - 180 turn - Smart 180 turn - 90 degree left - 90 degree right - 45 left - 45 right When you are trying to do some fine manual controls having some ways to have Yarbo do a quicker turn would make for a bit easier manual control. ---

Add drive in a straight line to that list. ---

I mean technically that’s in the app controller already…but if it’s slippery or hilly it’s not driving straight…maybe a “try to drive straight button, even it Yarbo loses course keep trying to correct while keeping the line straight.” mode…Also with a preview of the line… Also needs to be in mapping mode or mapping by waypoint 😃 ---

Cleaning up a map after the fact is probably more practical of a software fix. Mapping by waypoint, well how do you set a waypoint when you don’t have a map or point of reference. Drive straight for X feet might work. ---

Where is that in the app controller? I haven’t met anyone who can drive that thing straight. 🤪 Even mapping my lawn in the summer doesn’t create a straight line. ---

Can be done. Used the D-Pad only for most of that. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/2/225644a0c7b9b69915e77a5565c6e4436583d116.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/9/990addd606d0fecc0ac9f15af3626b5e79fed8f8.jpeg) ---

Fair enough. I have as well. Still don’t get straight lines all the time. I made my comment in jest. It’s not really an issue. It would be nice to be able straighten lines out though. ---

Yes, for sure it would be. ---

I do 3 sides and let the 4th draw itself. That way one side is straight. 😁 ---

That’s what I do as well. I deliberately map the longest straight section last for that reason. ---
