4.2 Virtual Boundary and Map Setup
The Navimow H3000N-VF operates without physical perimeter wires. Use the Navimow mobile application to define your virtual boundary. This process involves mapping your lawn area and setting exclusion zones directly within the app. The mower utilizes RTK+Vision integration for precise positioning within these virtual boundaries.

5. Operation
5.1 Systematic Mowing Pattern
The Navimow H3000N-VF employs a systematic mowing pattern, ensuring efficient and complete coverage of your lawn. It follows a planned path within the defined virtual boundaries, minimizing missed spots and reducing track marks on the lawn.

5.2 Visual Obstacle Avoidance
Equipped with a vision camera, the Navimow can identify and avoid various obstacles, including those protruding from the ground (e.g., flowerpots, footballs) and flat objects (e.g., picnic mats). This enhances safety and prevents damage to the mower and your property.

5.3 Automatic Return and Anti-Theft
The Navimow H3000N-VF automatically returns to its charging station when its battery is low or when its mowing schedule is complete. For security, if the mower moves outside its virtual boundary, you will receive an alert along with real-time location information in the app, aiding in theft recovery.
