When using a dead end within a known area, we should be able o tell yarbo where it can “exit” or behave when completed. To help reduce ground wear and allow for easier maneuvering. Example - have a dead end going up a hill to mow along stairs which is within a mow area. However yarbo when trying to back down the hill will often get stuck because it will drift and bump the wall. If I could tell yarbo that it does t have to reverse, but just “continue forwards” it would t have the issue. It almost is a “mow line” that toe action, where it’s not an “area” and isn’t a “dead end” ---

There is already something like this. Unfortunately, it only exists for the snowblower. Why the lawnmower doesn’t have it only Yarbo knows. It’s been asked for dozens of times. ---

How about just being able to add pathways as part of a plan? So it has to cross them. ---

Can you mow along a memory path? ---

You can mow with the trimmer memory path. Memory paths need to be supported across all modules and not just for trimmer or tow mode. ---

As long as they don’t do them in reverse ---

Ah so in tow mode you can’t activate the blades, you need the trimmer mounted to run a memory path outside of tow mode? 🫠 ---
