According to the latest firmware release notes, we now have the ability to back up our maps to the app. I was hoping that I would hence be able to restore them to a replacement Yarbo I am receiving today.
Has anyone already successfully been able to do that?
I believe the backup is still stored on the core.

You are correct @john.merten1 the maps are not backed up to the app but rather stored on the rover.
@Frederic
The recent feature update is any change that you make to your map, it backs up the previous map automatically to the core so you can restore it if you accidentally mess up. If your old core powers up and can connect to WiFi, support can back the maps up and copy them to your new core. Just request this in a ticket.
I’m not understanding the logic in backing up only to the core. If it fails all of the maps go with it. - kinda like backing up your computer to itself.

I wish they made that clear in the firmware release notes, it is quite misleading:[quote=“Yarbo-Forum, post:1, topic:2335”]
4. App updates and others
4.1 Map Saving
You can now manually save maps within the app, with support for up to 10 maps in total:

The last time I requested a map transfer to a replacement Yarbo, I had not received a response for over a week and had to recreate everything from scratch to stat mowing asap. Grass keep on growing while we wait for Tech Support 
I just created ticket # 101853, thanks for escalating.

Yeah it’s a little unclear on where it’s stored. It does seem to imply it might be stored in the app. But it just meant you could do it yourself using the app.

It would be nice to be self sufficient on being able to restore maps. It would remove some of the workload from Yarbo also. If they ship replacement core the using can install their map. Everyone is happier.

Sorry for the confusion caused. As Bryan mentioned, the maps are stored locally on the rover. I’ve updated the release notes to provide clearer guidance on this.
Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Our support team will assist you with the map transfer through your support ticket.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding!

Could you please see what the hold up is, I transferred my GPS antennae, Halow and battery to the new Rover but can’t use it because Tech support has not transferred the maps back from their server. Meanwhile grass is growing. I’ve already replied 3 times to the support ticket but no answer. Frustrating
We’re very sorry for the delay and the frustration it’s caused. I’ve reached out directly to the technical expert handling your case to prioritize the map transfer as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and will keep you updated.
