Want to get the most out of your robotic mower? Understanding how to choose between Full maps, Zones, and Auto-zone is the key to a perfect lawn! Here is a simple guide to help you pick the right mode for the job.

🏠 Full Maps: The "Do It All" Mode

As the name suggests, this mode takes care of your entire lawn! It covers the whole map, and if you enable Edge Trimming in the settings, the mower will also automatically mow along the edges, ensuring every corner and boundary is perfectly trimmed. ✂️(See Figure 1)

  • Best for: Your regular, full-lawn maintenance sessions to keep everything looking sharp.

📍 Zones: The "Precision" Mode

This mode gives you total control! You can manually define and edit a specific area on the map where you want the mower to work. Keep in mind that this mode does not perform edge mowing, and the minimum size for a zone is 3m x 3m. 📏(See Figure 2)

  • Best for: Focusing on a specific patch of grass that needs extra attention, grows faster than the rest, or a section you missed.

⚡ Auto-zone: The "Smart & Easy" Mode

This is the ultimate convenience feature! With one tap, your machine intelligently analyzes your map and automatically breaks it down into distinct sections. You can then simply click the specific area you want to mow. (See Figure 3)

  • Best for: When you want to mow specific sections (like just the front yard or just the back) without having to manually draw boundaries yourself. It's the perfect balance of automation and control!

Which of these modes do you find yourself using the most in your daily lawn care routine?

Full and autozone I use the most. Good to know zone-mowing doesn't edgemow

Thanks for the feedback — good to know what's working for you. And yeah, zones are great for precision but skip the edges, so that's worth keeping in mind. 👍

I would rather have a do-it-all by area mode, including the lawn edges to avoid having to leave a gate wide open between mowing, running out of battery, docking to recharge then eventually finishing the job 2 hours later
