Navimow 4+

This Navimow unit’s programming gives it a careful, but feisty personality, so we named it Herbie, after the 1969 Love Bug. Since then I’ve encountered unexpected wrinkles in it’s behavior, which make me wonder what is happening in his head, and want to rename it Tommy, after the pinball wizard. For instance, it seems to remow borders after the app shows they’re totally mowed. Sometimes it approaches an unmowed spot repeatedly stopping short, or reverses in an unimpeded straight strip. Before I try to improve the lawn topography it would help to know why it’s doing what it’s doing. Is it navigating by GPS or vision? Or is it doing a maneuver to avoid hitting something or getting stuck? Does Tommy’s light flash white when it starts or stops mowing, or both?
The app could also make it easier to go slowly and make small steering corrections when defining a boundary. And there was no warning when I wanted to redefine part of a boundary that it would navigate that in the opposite direction than I originally mapped it.
It’s also unclear how to clear the mowing progress shading on the map from the last mowing in preparation for the next mowing.
Overall this is an incredible and fun app for a remarkable machine. (I loved showing Herbie at work to my brother while we were both in a different state!) Please keep improving this app.

App is nicely done. It even remind when to maintain the mower before winter starts.

The fact that you can’t add multiple small sections to the map a frustrating. And if you do map an entire area then it tells you it’s too big you have to delete the whole thing and start over. Because when you try to edit it the app tells you to save first. But you can’t save because it’s too big. So don’t accidentally make your map too big or you’ll have to start from the beginning. Also the limit should be zone based and not total of all zones. That would make so much more sense. It’s a 1/8 yard mower well ok. Then let me mow two 1/8th size lawns and connect them with path. I’ll mow one one day and the other the next? I feel it’s an artificial limit created to force an upgrade and it’s frustrating. Besides all of that it really does work amazing.
