Add the option to view the map during manual controller use

My mower gets stuck a lot. Sometimes it just needs me to manually re-adjust it with the controller and it can move along. If it is in visual range I can just use the controller, but I have 6 acres. It would be helpful to have the map available when controlling. Currently I have to look at its position on the map. Then go to the controller screen and move it slightly. Then exit controller to see where it is on the map. And back and forth like that.

Have you tried Smart Vision? Go into settings, smart vision, and then hit the controller icon to get camera view with a joystick control. Some screenshots of the controls on the link below.

What I have done if I am on cellular (Smart Vision won’t work on cellular) is open the app on another device and watch the map there while I control it with my phone.

Wish I had a dollar for every time I went through that…

I didn’t think of using two devices. That would make it easier. But the most convenient thing would be to add the map to the controller view. I have a couple areas where I mapped too close to the fence and Yarbo will sometimes get stuck in the fence. I usually switch between controller screen and map screen as @brian.blank says. Once I get Yarbo lined up with its planned course he’ll resume his work and not need to negotiate to get back on track. That negotiation is usually where he gets snagged in the fence.

Yeah the need for it to go back to where it was in trouble is frustrating at times.
