What if my yard has changed after mapping?

Major visual or layout changes to your yard—such as landscaping projects, downed trees, removed fences, or new structures—could require you to update the settings of your mower.

If your mower struggles to localize after modifications to your yard, this is a sign that your mower requires a new working area map so the mower can “see” the changes.

Here are some other common changes to the working area and how to address them:

• If there is a new, permanent obstacle, create an exclusion zone around it.

• If an existing obstacle has been removed, remove the corresponding exclusion zone.

• If the boundary of your working area has moved, see if your mower struggles to localize. If it does, delete the existing working area and create a new one.

• If you have removed a large feature from your yard, it could reveal reference points that the mower does not recognize from the initial mapping; you may need to create a new working area map.

• If you have added a new, large feature to your yard, it could be obscuring visual reference points previously used by the mower; you may need to create a new working area map.
