What If My Yard Has Poor GPS Signal?
TL;DR: Trees, buildings, and overhead structures can weaken GPS satellite signals, causing navigation drift or failed boundary detection. RTK systems (like the M10) use a fixed base station in your yard to correct GPS errors in real time, achieving 1-2cm accuracy even with moderate tree cover.

RTK systems (like the M10) use a fixed base station in your yard to correct GPS errors in real time, achieving 1-2cm accuracy even with moderate tree cover. Under very dense tree canopy (90%+ coverage), GPS models struggle.
Solutions: reposition the RTK base station for better line-of-sight to the sky, create clear-sky zones where the mower can recalibrate, or consider a wire-based mower for heavily shaded yards.
