Possible Causes
IMU drift, Wheel encoder slippage, Poor initial mapping run, Firmware bugs in mapping algorithm
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No additional hazards beyond normal operation; keep area clear during mapping.
- Reset map: Use the Ecovacs app to delete the existing map and start a new mapping run.
- Check wheel traction: Ensure drive wheels are clean and not slipping excessively on the grass.
- Calibrate sensors: Run any available IMU or compass calibration routines.
- Update firmware: Install the latest firmware to benefit from mapping improvements.
If mapping remains highly inaccurate, a failing IMU or wheel encoder may need replacement.
