This has been more frequent since offsets were introduced. Anyone identify the settings that contribute?

Betting it’s the perimeter laps or the offset or a combination of both
We’re thinking alike. That’s why I reduced the Range Offset in this area.
Hi there, the root cause will require further investigation from our support team. Thank you for submitting a support ticket. We will further investigate whether the issue is related to the Path Offset feature or other related settings.
It’s worth mentioning that I am seeing improvements in the routing. As shown here, it often does a much better job of completing areas without returning to finish them later in the plan. But, it’s not consistent. During the next mow with a different rotation, it may run all over the lawn again. If we could just get NGZ routes to follow the perimeter and ALL travel routes to follow the mowing direction, we’d be 99% there.
100% this!
It drives me crazy seeing all the inefficient driving across the whole yard just to do a NGZ or something.
I could even live with the inefficiencies if at least followed perims and mowing direction. The stipes at conflicting angles look lazy.
That’s one I’ve never seen and potentially dangerous. Open a ticket for that.
Will observe if something similar happens in future. Overwhelming support is not the best idea knowing that they already are having hard times catching-up with requests.
Issues like this should be documented with a ticket though. That’s dangerous. Note the time and dates in the ticket.
