For parallel with offsets, or diamond / checkerboard it would be very helpful for each subsequent mowing job to continue with the next pattern in sequence even if the last job was not 100% completed. (or make that a toggle). This is to avoid making too many tracks in the same place if the last scheduled run hit 90% but never completed due to rain or long breaks in the charging cycle from it being too hot. Large work jobs never complete when there is a week of wet weather or too hot. I keep having to cancel my job and re-create it at 99% starting point just to have it finish the job under these circumstances so it doesn’t keep making the same tracks the next time. ---

Thanks for sharing your suggestion. At this time, this may not be a priority in the short term. However, we really appreciate you bringing this idea forward. ---

Yep. I’ve wanted this one many times, but know that if I don’t let it complete it won’t increment the route for the next mow. Upvoted. ---

I have had this happened to me many times. Simple workaround is to change the pattern type of the mower for that one time and send the robot out to do its thing. Never had it following the same angle if I have changed let’s say from diamond to parallel. ---

For manual plans, when the plan is started a dialog “Previous run for this area did not complete, advance route rotation? Yes/No” would work. For incomplete scheduled plans it would have to rerun the same route I guess. ---

Any time it rains or is too hot to charge, my main yard doesn’t complete, and the next run makes tracks on the same spot… the only work around is at the end of the day if not raining to set it to 99% and waste 15 minutes while it drives around to fool the software into thinking it completed the days’ work. ---
