My Yarbo work areas go all the way to the edge of the street and up to my neighbor’s yards. Do I need to set my geofence beyond those work areas in order to leave it enabled all the time?

Yes, set the geofence slightly larger than your mapped areas. Otherwise it will not execute a plan outside the geofence. I think it even gives a cryptic error about it. If you need to take the rover outside the geofence, you can temporarily disable it.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I thought I had to drive the Yarbo to the corners for the geofence, but that is a “touch the screen” selection. I now have a proper geofence.

Thank you.
