I thought this was fixed last year. But here I am with 6” uncut areas. This area was mapped clockwise driving ON the mulch ![IMG_9941](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/4/44f8261a98573b03dd1cee94c0856e067545d51b.jpeg) ![IMG_9942](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/0/05636c1e7f7a0101fe2eb229ceec60af82b55f12.jpeg) ![IMG_9945](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/f/f9a3e3f826a73a2e4c9b02dd8b61867860952eac.jpeg) ---

Possibly some slight map drift? I think safety buffers are bugged until the firmware updates TBH. ---

I have never had any map drift. This is the entire perimeter of the bed, not an isolated spot. And multiple NGZ, new and existing. ---

Well hopefully it’s just the mismatch of firmware/app causing the safety buffer not to be respected and the update will fix that for you. ---

Obviously you have no fault in any of this, but it’s getting ridiculous. ---

It is frustrating for sure. ---

You can fix this if you buy an amazing Yarbo trimmer attachment….. ---

Hi there, we have indeed removed the default safety buffer, and Yarbo should follow exactly along the boundary you set if the safety buffer is set to 0 inch. This may require further investigation from our team to confirm the root cause. ---

This is different NGZ from yesterday. It’s actually a 12” from where it should be. Is anyone else seeing this? I have even deleted and recreated a couple NGZs and nothing changes. ![IMG_9948](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/8/888058a90faa15f5d1cfd1d2804e082a51baeb96.jpeg) ---

Great idea… Oh but wait, you can’t order one. It’s not available in the store 🙂 ---

Also, This doesn’t happen on boundaries. They have the correct setback, 0. ---

You do have NGZ edges enabled for cutting? I know it still leaves a buffer a bit though. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/1/17bc372fe7ad5f866a090c0f061fc52e9510e4d7.jpeg) ---

Yep set just like your pic. I posted my screenshot earlier. I could live with a couple inches, but a foot isn’t acceptable… And it didn’t do this last year. ---

I’ll wait for the firmware to see if there’s a conflict.
