Waypoint Navigation

Need Yarbo to reach a specific spot in the yard without manually driving it? :round_pushpin:

Give Waypoint Navigation a try! :sparkles:

Simply tap point(s) on the map, and Yarbo will navigate there automatically, leaving your hands free.

Note: With multiple waypoints, Yarbo follows them in order and stops at the final point.

Is there a reason this doesn’t work for all modules? I would love being able to program waypoints to garage or shed so I don’t have to physically drive it there to swap modules.

Would love to have this for the mowing module. It would make mapping so much easier!

There’s a whole host or reasons to bring this to all the modules. It’s been asked for since originally implemented. We’re still waiting. All features like this should be module independent.

There’s absolutely no reason this couldn’t be easily enabled for all modules. It already works for one. It can work for all. I completely agree. Features shouldn’t be module dependent.

I think the just love their SAM module so much.

They love it so much they stopped including it in the base package. ha! Most new users won’t even have it.

People love it. It has its purpose. None that I rarely need it for. It doesn’t need to hold its features hostage to exist. The module is cheap enough I’d throw it in the cart if I was buying as a new customer.

Mine’s still new in the box. If I ever get a trimmer, that’s when I’d pull it out :slight_smile:

Yeah I have one that I used once, and another one that is new in the box.

Trimmer is a good use, but then I would be scared I would catch a case of the Yarbo connector issue. Another piece of the hardware chain that is weak.

Just throw a couple springs in there and all is good again :slight_smile: I’m super careful with mine after hearing of all the failures.

Ah, the old spring trick, yeah they use that one in the industry all the time…

I’ll pass your suggestion about expanding this feature to all modules back to our Product team. Thanks for sharing your feedback!

That’s what I have set up now.

I’m pretty sure this has been “passed on” about a dozen times, yet here we are again.

Also agree. The waypoint feature should not be module dependent. Waypoints can be used by all yarbo owners.

Thanks for doing this. I manually drive my Yarbos to their areas for mowing. I would prefer using this feature as well.

As a workaround for the mower I created a tiny Deadend at the location, put in a Plan by itself and cancel when it gets there.

That said, I’m very tired of all the workarounds to perform basic tasks!

I just pick a plan either mowing or snowblowing that gets the core near where I want it to be, and then stop the plan and manually drive it the rest of the way. It works but it is so stupid to have to do this on a very expensive yard robot, when they are so close to fixing this issue.

Totally understand your need for this, and we’ll take all of your feedback and suggestions into consideration as we continue improving the experience.
