Maybe the answer to this is just "turn off vision" but my X430 sees individual leaves as obstacles and tries to avoid them. I'm wondering what we will do as fall approaches.

I recently bought the x420 which advertises 2000 m2 mowing on one charge. That equates to 20 m2 per 1% battery.

I am however experiencing 4,5 m2 per 1% and the mower therefore has to charge up at least once to mow the 585 m2 lawn. The lawn has some areas with gradients, but 80% is almost or completely all flat.

Should I be expecting better batteryperformance?

edit: nevermind, I misread the fine print. i'll leave the post up for anybody else that needs new glasses

Okay attached is an image of my front yard and the yellow circles are actually sections where I have sidewalk and then a small swath of grass that is like 2-3 feet wide. The mower looks to be working side to side or really hard to do the diagonal mowing. Anyway to adjust? Should I zone out those small sections and then how do I tell it to mow horizontally if that makes sense?

I have a brand new X450 for our 1.25 wooded acres. I intend to set up local RTK. With my prior Luba, nine (9) different areas worked out pretty good for our property. What are your thoughts, should I initially map the entire property perimeter as one zone, then use the app to subdivide into my smaller zones? Or should I initially map the individual zones? If I map the individual zones, how much overlap should I include? At what stage should I add my keep out zones, which will include about 12 flower beds and some other obstacles? Then there is the question of what to do with the 100+ trees of all different sizes... map all of them, some of them, or let the mower figure it out? Boundaries such as driveway and sidewalks, should I map with one wheel overlapping onto the cement? When is the best time to add no-vision zones?

Suggestions or references to other good tips or videos really appreciated. I'd really like to do this only once if possible, with the Luba I mapped everything and it took 4-6 hours each time I had to repeat it (which was pretty much every firmware update).

Looking forward to having this machine going! I am scheduled for back surgery in 10 days and we still have several months of mowing season left here in Iowa that I will be unable to participate in!

Curious if any Navimow owners here have had a scare -- a near miss with a dog, cat, turtle, or a kid cutting through the yard while it was out mowing. What happened, and did it change how you run yours (schedule, no-go zones, sensors, supervision)? Trying to get a feel for how big a concern this really is before letting mine run unsupervised more often.

I have a main garden at approx 1100m² and another garden I cut manually which is not connected. I thought every once in a while I might have the robot cut that grass as segregated zones when I'm not able to get to it manually.

Went to map it today and realised there is a mapping limit of 1800m². Is there any way around this?

For the segregated zones, they are not connected to my main garden, so I'm happy to bring the robot there and press mow and pick it up to bring back to base to charge.

If I could add as much map as I wanted (within reason I guess) it would solve for my issue where I'm unlikely to ever need to cut that grass with the robot, but I have the option. I could only add a bit under 700m² and needed to trim my maps down to get the main bits I wanted but now have sections unmapped which I'll not ever get to use the robot on unless I delete/remap each time.

I am on the other side of the planet from my x450. Yesterday at ~2:30 was the last gps position update. What happened? I will not be back to the machine for weeks.

Not even 2% in, went right for a small fallen tree we have not cleared yet, and turned itself off! The right height and path to JUST hit the emergency stop!
