I was wondering if there was some setting I could adjust that would keep the yarbo working in a certain area and not move on until that section was fully completed? It does one part, and then moves around the house to another part, and then back to the original part wasting time and putting unnecessary lines in the lawn Thank you! ![IMG_3935](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/4/47831ba90235141af3cf9c1ca59a02675bb03ce9.jpeg) ![IMG_3934](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/e/e1758a8673a7d55a402ed1c0d1a565f612e33ecc.jpeg) ---

Yarbo area planning is an odd one for sure. Two things you can do. 1 split areas up into smaller areas to stop it jumping around. 2 Try a different mode like adaptive or spiral mode and the use preview to see if it helps. Those are two things I came up with. ---

Split areas would probably be the only way to affect this. Cut them up a bit. You could use something like Yardstick to sync up the cutting lines across all the areas.
