when mapping the perimeter, and/or no go zones, where on the rover should I focus the far edge? I have been using the edge of the track to set the “edge” but it seems like maybe I need to use the middle of the rover to set the edge? I hope this makes sense. I want to set a really tight set of no…

No-go Zones: I’ve been driving my rover right up next to the tree and creating a Circle Template No-go Zone, which I then move next to the little rover icon on the map and resize as needed. You may need to resize it a little bit larger than you think, as the rover may make a beeline to mow around …

Hi! Great question — and yes, you’re absolutely right to think about where the “edge” is set from. Yarbo actually uses the center of the rover as the reference point when mapping perimeters and No-go Zones. We understand your need to keep the no-go zone as close to the trees as possible. However, w…

Knowing that the reference point is the center of the rover is definitely helpful, thanks! Does the rover use the same reference point when executing a plan? I.e., when it’s mowing does the software simply keep the center of the rover within the established boundary or is the reference point offset…

Yes, the rover uses the same reference point when executing a plan. However, it does take the size of the device into consideration during route planning, ensuring that it stays within the established boundary.

My approach is a little different. I take Yarbo directly up to the tree and use the pointy yellow triangle as the point to put the no go zone template. I’ll estimate the size of the tree and adjust the circle to that size. (Keeping in mind tree roots etc.) I’ll then move the rover around tree to hel…

@yarbo-forum I don’t have a tablet. I’m only using my phone. So I guess I need to figure out how to resize when I drop a template. I think it would be easier for me when remapping. I have so many things to go around for No-Go’s. But some of the smaller things I think would work well for. The more co…

I’ve found it difficult to grab the correct point to resize or points to rotate and resize on the phone. I’ve had better success on the larger tablet screen. If anyone has pointers on this process, please share.
