Key Takeaways
The iNavi service enables RTK-quality navigation without physical base stations via Wi-Fi or 4G connections. Compatible with the full range of Mammotion robotic lawnmowers including LUBA and YUKA models. The setup process is remarkably straightforward, requiring minimal technical knowledge to get started.
Definition
The iNavi service from Mammotion is an innovative navigation system for robotic lawnmowers. This service works with a range of Mammotion robotic lawnmowers including the LUBA Mini (800, 1500 and H versions), YUKA Mini (500, 600, 700, 800), and full-size models such as the LUBA 2 AWD X and YUKA 2025 versions.
Elimination of RTK Station
The key benefit of iNavi is the elimination of the need for an RTK station. Traditional GPS-guided robotic lawnmowers typically require an RTK station either separately installed or mounted on top of the mower. With iNavi, this requirement is completely removed as it delivers RTK functionality over the network instead.
This makes the setup process remarkably simple. I can unbox the robotic lawnmower, position the charging station, secure it to the lawn, plug it in, place the mower on charge, add it to the app, select iNavi, and then simply instruct the mower to map my lawn and cut it. The elimination of hardware components significantly streamlines the user experience.
Network Delivery Options
iNavi offers two network delivery options for the RTK service:
4G Connectivity: Uses the SIM card that comes supplied with Mammotion robotic mowers.
Wi-Fi Connectivity: Available since late March/early April 2025 through a firmware update. The recent firmware update that enables Wi-Fi connectivity for iNavi is particularly valuable for users with adequate Wi-Fi coverage in their gardens. This eliminates the need to renew the 4G service (very competitively priced), potentially reducing ongoing costs whilst maintaining full functionality.
Mammotion continues to enhance their robotic lawnmowers through regular firmware updates, adding not just the Wi-Fi capability for iNavi, but also features like zigzag path settings, perimeter trimming, and improved obstacle avoidance.
