How to update the virtual map created by AIM Technology
Only applies to Automower® models that support AIM technology:
If you make changes to your lawn layout or 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 to replace the old one. This will initiate a new data collection phase, allowing the mower to create a map that reflects the changes you have made to your yard. Note that it is not possible to manually edit the existing virtual map.
To create a new virtual map, you need to actively trigger this process in the Automower® Connect app, as the mower does not automatically detect changes to your lawn.
How to create a new virtual map
- Open the Automower® Connect app.
- Select Map > My Lawn > Create new map.
- Tap Create new map to confirm that you want to start the process.
The robotic lawn mower will begin creating the new virtual map as soon as it is scheduled to operate. It will follow the mowing schedule under My Lawn, so please adjust this accordingly. If My lawn does not have a schedule, you will need to create one.
During the data collection phase, your robotic lawn mower will mow the entire area within your boundary wire installation. All work areas and stay-out zones will be disabled to allow the robotic lawn mower to cover every part of your installation.
Creating a new map can take up to 15 days, depending on your scheduled mowing time. Once the new map is finished, you will see it along with 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 that they fit the new map.
For the best possible results:
- Set the schedule to allow the mower to run as much as possible during the 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 it. This can be done in the Automower® Connect app (select More > Settings > Installation > Lawn Coverage) or on the mower display (Installation > Lawn Coverage).
