Currently each work area appears to have it’s own 0 degree angle. So work area 1 could start at North, and work area 2 might be facing southeast. This makes it difficult to get consistent patterns across the yard.
If each work area had the same “0 degree” reference line (like facing North), then each area could have similar alignment and avoid what happened in the picture below, where 2 sides of the driveway are cut in different directions.
Thank you for your feedback! We understand that having a consistent reference line for each work area can improve the overall aesthetics of your lawn. We’ve passed this suggestion to our product team for consideration. We appreciate your input and help in making our product better!
I love this Idea, with the caveat of setting a master mowing angle for all, so the whole yard syncs mowing angles, even if a section gets skipped due to rain or other conditions
How to get these suggestions back to the front? This is a major and I can’t believe that there is not more votes on this. I can certainly say this is one area the Mammotion certainly shined. All of my lines would even match as if the mower directly crossed. Made my lawn cut look amazing. Still a bigger fan of Yarbo for several reasons, but this was one of the down grades.
Boy they went he opposite direction on the last update. No more ability to adjust mowing angle. Cut is always on the same path. (If you select path offset) I’m the one who messed up
Edit: After rereading the post, my response below might not apply. You can still adjust angles. I use Checkboard and it’s working correctly/ It will increment provided the previous run completes.
Nope. It bases the angle on the current area instead of a reference direction. Unless you run everything on a schedule, it’s likely they’d end up out of sync anyway.
It would also be nice to have angle adjustment finer than 10 degrees. I have a fence that I would like to parallel but I’m 5 degrees off. That’s not on the roadmap either.
I apparently accidentally hit path offset, that disabled the angular change on the one I looked at, but it seemed like the other two were unchanging. I’ll keep a eye on it.
Not sure if this fits this thread but , is there a way to have the path line up between areas. I have two areas with a drive between. Currently this is one task to mow both but was wondering if there is a way to have all the lines be in the same angle
Currently, there isn’t a direct way to automatically align the paths between areas. However, you can try previewing the routes for both areas, compare the difference in their angles, and then manually adjust the route angle of one area so that the lines align with each other.
Yes this is tedious and changes require the same actions. If you have many areas it can be quite time consuming. I am also not positive it will alwork nicely with 10 degree increments. Please don’t take this a promoting a competitor, but I have used and continue to assist my father with a Luba. It is actually now like this by default (was not initially). It makes for a an amazing look, with that mower I always got questions on how I kept the lines so perfect…Again these are really not comparable on large properties or considering the multiple use scenario.
Yes I have seen this on a few other mowers where you just set the degrees and it shows you in real time on the map with a north/south relationship which way it will do the lines. And you can do it in 1 degree increments. Same one if you choose a pattern like checkerboard, it will auto align the lines to the biggest part of the area north to south and then on the 90 degree rotation east to west. Would make it very easy to line up all the areas mowing lines.
Indeed, by the way checkerboard actually mows 2x and does not repeat ngz, border, etc. that is how I used to mow previously as the Luba was actually worse at missing grass due to tire rollover and the center
