Plan a Coverage Path

Goal: Generate a coverage pattern that fills a boundary, using your working width, turn radius, and pattern, and spacing

Before you begin

  • You need a boundary on the map. See Draw a boundary or Import map data.
  • You need permission to create features (typically Fleet Planner or Fleet Manager).

Steps

  1. In the top navigation, click PathLab.
  2. On the map overlay bar, open the Create menu and click Coverage. The Coverage Settings panel opens.
  3. (Optional) Enter a Name for the path.
  4. Under Active Boundary, select the boundary to cover.
  5. Choose the coverage Type:
    • Continuous Path (Single line), Rows (Multi-line), or Spaced Points.
  6. Set Working Width (m): the effective width of one pass.
  7. Set Turn Radius (m): the robot's minimum turning radius.
  8. Set the row spacing: choose a Spacing Mode and set Overlap (%) or Number of Rows.
  9. Configure Headlands (the perimeter passes around the field): choose the headland Mode and number of Passes.
  10. Choose a Pattern Type for how rows are ordered: Serpentine, Spiral, or Racetrack.
  11. Click Generate.

The pattern is added as a draft feature. Review it on the map, then deploy it when you're ready.
