When I load the app I’m getting a popup that says “Failed to calculate route. Please ensure the map is drawn according to the guide. (WP005)” My yard has a series of connected / overlapping zones with pathways connecting the one area that’s disconnected. I had to do it that way because trying to do it as one large zone kept failing due to GPS dropouts up next to the house.
What’s this error mean? I couldn’t find anything on the forum or support desk about it and that’s not obvious what’s a problem. Do I need to connect the touching/overlapping zones with a pathway or something?
The error generally means “you can’t get thayuh from heeah.” The Pathway from the Docking Station to Area1 is missing or incomplete, or there’s a Pathway that goes into an overlap of two or more Areas, or a Pathway that has an endpoint too close to the edge of an Area. Basically Yarbo can’t paint a complete navigation to get where it needs to go.
To narrow this down, create a scratch (throw-away) Work Plan. Add Areas to it and Preview until you see the error. You then know which navigation path needs a fix. Usually that’s finding a Pathway that’s not up to snuff. Try re-drawing the Pathway. Still broken, find the next one with an issue. Re-map as needed. Reminder: Don’t start or end a Pathway close to an Area border, and don’t start it or end it in an overlap of multiple Areas.
And just to add to what Ken is saying. When creating the pathways, it is best to go 3ft into each area with it. Pathways have to start and end in areas (they can be open ended). And they cannot start or end in an overlap. Use the 3ft rule there too, go 3ft out of the overlap.
We’ve checked your map from the backend. To resolve this issue, please make sure to create pathways connecting the different areas, even if they have overlapping zones. If the pathways aren’t drawn to connect them, the map will be considered invalid. This means you’ll need to have pathways connecting from the docking station to Area 1, from Area 1 to Area 2, and so on.
If you still encounter this issue after adding the pathways, feel free to reach out, and we’ll be happy to assist you further.
