Applies only to Automower® models that support AIM Technology:
If you make changes to your lawn layout or your boundary wire installation after the virtual map was created by AIM Technology in your Automower® robotic lawn mower, you can create a new virtual map that replaces the old map. This will make the robotic lawn mower start a new data collection phase and create a map that reflects the changes you have made to your yard. It is not possible to edit the existing virtual map manually.
To have a new virtual map created, you need to actively trigger it in the Automower® Connect app. The mower does not automatically register that you have made changes to your lawn.
How to create a new virtual map
- Select Map > My Lawn > Create new map in the Automower® Connect app.
- Tap Create new map to verify that you want to start creating the new map.
The robotic lawn mower will now start creating the new virtual map as soon as it is scheduled to operate. It will default to the mowing schedule under My Lawn, so please adjust this accordingly. If My lawn does not have a schedule, you need to create one.
During the data collection phase, your robotic lawn mower will mow the complete area within your boundary wire installation. All work areas and stay-out zones will be disabled in order to let the robotic lawn mower cover every part of your installation.
Creating a new map can take up to 15 days, depending on your scheduled mowing time. When the new map is finished you will see the map and any previously created work areas and stay-out zones in the map view in the Automower® Connect app. Please check and edit the work areas and stay-out zones to make sure they fit the new map.
For the best possible result:
- Set the schedule to allow the mower to run as much as possible during this mapping process.
- Remove temporary obstacles from the lawn, such as outdoor furniture and toys when the mower operates during the mapping period.
- If you have deactivated GPS-assisted navigation it is recommended to activate this. This can be done in the Automower® Connect app (select More > Settings > Installation > Lawn Coverage) or in the mower display (Installation > Lawn Coverage).
