I’m sure it’s been suggested before, but I would really appreciate it if these mapping features could be added. I had my ISP install fiber, and they plan to come to bury the wire that runs on my lawn at a later date (they set the finish date pretty far out). I would love to split my current area where the wire lays into multiple areas so I can avoid it.
For now, I have to switch to my Navimow i220, which has these features to manage the lawn. I tried placing a couple of no-go zones for my Yarbo, but when I previewed it, it showed me that the Yarbo would eventually drive where the wire is. I know I can walk out new areas, but that’s a LOT to ask versus just evenly splitting now and merging back later.
Seeing your map might help us make some suggestions. I had a similar situation with water logged areas that I needed to avoid temporarily. I was able to do it with carefully placed no-go zones (you can set multiple overlapping ones).
You can also split the map but the current limitation is you can only keep one of the sections, and will need to remap the other.
Would be curious to see this screenshot. The good news is, this split and keep both is coming. Probably not soon enough for you to do what you need to do though. But, if the ISP really drags their feet, you might be able to try.
Maybe on another day possibly. I deleted them after I saw it didn’t work. I think the software assumed since I still had the area it would try its best to cut what I would rather have as a new area to ignore
Well, unless there’s something really unique and unusual about how you built your mowing area, it’s safe to say that Yarbo won’t (or shouldn’t) enter a no go zone. Otherwise, everyone’s Yarbo’s would be ramming into stuff.
So I really think you’ve got something odd going on. Let’s figure it out so you can rely on this basic feature working as intended.
Oh it doesn’t go into the no-go zone. I just don’t have the space to drive it outside borders next to my house or into my neighbors yard (they also have a fence). So, when I added the no-go, it wanted to travel to the other non no-go area
Oh, I think that’ll do it for me. I can just overestimate a couple drawn ones to be sure I don’t hit it, and after they show up to bury, I can get rid of them.
Now, I tried in the past and failed to get it to do this. How can I get the Yarbo to go on the path across my driveway? I’ve added red line where it should travel (I removed the path when it just refused to use it before), but when I have I see it always wants to loop my house around back (see the preview lines where it wants to travel).
You’ll have to add a pathway back. However, cutting off part of an area is what that check is looking for. You’d have to NGZ the whole piece of that area so it doesn’t fully cutoff access to the area. Any orphaned piece of an area is what will trigger that error.
Thanks for sharing this—really appreciate the detailed context. This is actually something we already have on our development roadmap, and we understand how useful the ability to split and later merge areas would be in situations like yours. Thanks for your patience while we work toward releasing this feature.
In the meantime, you can try using no-go zones as a temporary workaround, as others have suggested. It may not be as seamless, but it should help you avoid the cable until it’s buried.
Yeah, I think it just won’t work because there isn’t enough room for the Yarbo with how they laid the wire & it’d be too much work to edit keeping only one area and making another only for me to do the whole thing again later.
The strip between the neighbor’s fence and the wire does look like it could be problematic because it’s so narrow. Temporary Deadends there might be the way.
Like Bryan mentioned, where you’ve placed the NZ1’s has orphaned the L is area in the upper right. A pathway back across the drive or a new one from the dock directly to that area is needed.
Unrelated, but I would also look at the short pathway by the wire. It crosses overlapping areas but is pretty short into the upper area. That can cause routing problems as well. It should extend 3’ beyond the overlap in both areas.
