Updates to map for robot vacuum?

It also must dock pretty much on the 1st try, seen it too many times fail to save if it takes longer than normal to dock. (*) I found an odd case where it actually saved a map change after selecting a room to clean. Not sure if it has a meaningful use though. So it can happen. (2022-05-28) For large changes (a new open room) it will ask at the end if you want to save the chang…

Thank you to this forum. I replaced the battery in my robot vacuum and it’s like having a new vacuum. I ordered the battery on Amazon.
