I set up a dead-end path to clear in front of my mail box , the yarbo just ignored it when completing the plan. I do not see a way to add sidewalks to the plan.

Yes, this can be done. And sidewalks are the way to do it. First, create the sidewalk zone you want Yarbo to clear, and set the options as you desire Then, Edit your work plan. Select the zone(s) and sidewalk(s) you want to be included. Then sort them so the sequencing is what you desire. Then sa…

@Yarbo-Forum , Could you please provide more details about Sidewalk and return to the dock behaviour? I created sidewalk on the top of the area (covering 3 sides) to clean up snow for the lines of U turns. After completing the plan in another area later Yarbo decided to use this sidewalk instead of…

@jso Hi there, based on the current logic, the sidewalks may also be used as part of the return-to-dock route.
