I have ~8 acres I want my Yarbo to eventually work through. Mapping out zones and schedules for that amount of coverage is bordering on ridiculous with the mobile app. In the simplest point of view, editing the maps for my yarbo in the mobile app is like lathroscopic surgery, everything must be done through a narrow, tiny hole, point of view.
Instead there are two options which could replace this in a much more powerful way:
Expose an Edit Maps API for the community to innovate against. With this I could create my own maps UI in minutes using Claude Code. The community could share these capabilities and innovation around Yarbo’s capabilities would grow.
Expose a Web-based Edit Maps application in my login. At least I could use larger screens and you could use much of the mobile app UX but I’d have a vastly larger screen.
If you have a Mac with Apple Silicon you can use the iPad app. It’s a bit bigger. You can also use some virtualization software like bluestacks to run the android app on a PC and set the resolution to be higher like a tablet size. Maybe this could work for you in the interim.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your suggestion. I understand it may be inconvenient to edit the map on the phone, especially for larger areas. If more users show interest in this, I’ll help pass it along to our product team to consider its priority.
Yes! I would love to be able to map or tweak maps without taking the Yarbo out to make adjustments. I have an area that takes the Yarbo 8 minutes just to drive to, and I need to make a small adjustment. If we could have an interface like DroneDeploy for adjusting and mapping areas that would be amazing!!!
I would like this as well, but there can be some unintended consequences. I’ve seen this on the current editing feature.
If you cut a corner square without driving it, the core can swing out into something you weren’t considering. Even though the map looks good on the screen, it can’t execute it without hitting something, in my case a fence. I only use manual editing when I know there’s nothing around.
