Issue: Dead ends and pathways can’t be tested from the mapping screen, until they are added to a workplan and that workplan is executed.
The current app design creates a problem - if the deadend/pathway needs to be recreated by deleting the current one, the workplan is lost. (I have already logged a feature request here).
It would make mapping much more straightforward if there was an option to “test” the deadened/pathway on the mapping screen itself by letting Yarbo do a test run of the deadend/pathway. If the result is unsatisfactory, then the “Redraw” option can be used to redo the mapping.
This will save all of the below steps in the current workflow -
Save the deadend/pathway
Add the deadend to an existing workplan or create a new workplan if existing one is lost.
Run the workplan to test the deadend/pathway
Repeat steps 1-3 again, until satisfied with the mapping.
I asked Yarbo in a post somewhere (that of course I can’t find right now) about no longer deleting Work Plans when a mapped item on the Work Plan was deleted, and IIRC they said they’re making this change.
I like the idea of Click-to-Test, especially Deadends.
I created a work plan called TEST. I use it to try out a new area and the pathway to it before I add the area to an existing work plan. It works with deadends too. Whatever I want to test is the only thing in the plan.
Yes, that’s what I have been doing as well but that becomes repetitive when the dead ends have to be recreated (steps 1-3 above).
I struggle with the mower running into no-go zones and going off the line in several dead ends. Fine tuning them requires performing steps 1-3 repeatedly, which is quite annoying and inefficient.
