Aerial photo under the map

If your server's operator switched it on (Aerial photo under the map), the mower page can show an aerial photo of your garden under the map, so you see areas, no-go zones, the mower's track and missed spots on the real lawn.

  1. Open a mower. Under the map, in the layer strip, choose Luftbild. The map turns north up and the photo appears under the outlines.
  2. With the photo on, a slider Deckkraft appears: lower it to make the outlines and heat layers stand out, raise it to see the lawn better.
  3. Choose Luftbild again to go back to the metric grid.

The choice and the opacity are remembered on this device. The credit of the photo's source is shown at the lower edge of the map while it is on. The photo is an aerial survey and may be a year or more old; trees, beds and furniture may have moved. If a tile is missing or the photo does not cover your address, the map simply stays on the grid.

You do not see the toggle if your server has no photo source configured or the mower has not published its map yet.
