As an alternative to stopping a work plan, adding a no-go zone, and then restarting the work plan over from the beginning for a repeating GPS position loss, I am suggesting a skip .1% or .2% in work progress. I see the workflow as being; Yarbo stops due to loss of GPS, Pause the work plan, move the rover to an open area to regain GPS, have a button in the app to skip .1% progress, then resume the workplan. Yarbo would keep the started plan expect jump to a new position to resume work. This will require more string trimming or manual control later, but I would rather manually drive the rover later than loose 30-90 min or battery time (depending on how closely I am monitoring the app at my desk in the office), and possible triggering a need to recharge and in worst case scenario not finishing the work plan that day.

In my experience when Yarbo looses GPS and I have to drive to clear sky, once GPS is re-established I just hit resume. Yarbo then proceeds through the area without further incident.
My GPS gaps may be smaller in size but I wanted to share my experience.
YMMV

A skip ahead X.X% would be a great add on for many reasons.
Currently taking note of the percentage, ending a zone and restarting it at a slightly advance percentage works ok. However I have noticed the % calculation seems to have some “slippage” as the percent it had completed is slightly different than what’s shown when you advance the % at the restart of a job skipping the bad or in use area.
