This this app 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 Navimow 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?
Navimow 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 Navimow.
