I Tried the Segway Navimow X315 Easy Setup, Mapping Guide, and Full Review · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Today, I'm going to show you, guys how I programmed
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the segue Navimo X three point fifteen to mow my
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: lawn for me while I throw my friends an end
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of summer barbecue. So listen, I'm the type of guy
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: who loves mowing my own lawn. I find it to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: be a super cathartic practice that gives me that true
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: confidence and inner piece as a homeowner, well at least
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: most of the time. But what if you're the type
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: of person who doesn't get a lot out of the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: whole process. Maybe you just don't dig mow in your
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: own yard, or you're just not physically able to anymore.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: In that case, the only option seems to be contacting
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a local landscaping service. Well that's where you're wrong. We're
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: living in the future, baby, it's twenty twenty five, and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: there are all kinds of tech gadgets to help us
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: out with our everyday lives, including robotic lawnmowers that mow
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: your lawn for you. So the folks at seguey Naviumo
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: kindly sent me the X three fifteen point five acre
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: mower to test out and review, and upon unboxing it,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I was immediately overwhelmed by the setup, and it kind
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of took me a little bit of time to wrap
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: my head around. There was just a sea of cardboard
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and a lot of moving parts, and it was kind
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of difficult to figure out where exactly to start. But
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: after looking over the instruction manual and the setup guide,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: it immediately directed me to downloading the Navimo app, which
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: then told me I should probably start by setting up
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the charging station and the intenna for this thing. Now,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: for the antenna placement, the app strongly suggests that you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: find the area of your yard where the most amount
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of sky is visible. I don't have a lot of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that with this yard. There's a big tree here that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: shades most of it. But I did have this portion
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: in the back of my yard that's kind of tucked
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: away and seemed perfect for this setup. So I did
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: decide to place the antenna and the charging station side
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: by side over there. Not the most optimal location, but
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: we'll see how it eventually goes. Now, the whole setup
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: process for the antenna and the charging dock is really seamless.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Everything pretty much clicks into place really satisfyingly, and with
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the antenna, you basically put the rods together, and there's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: one single screw that kind of holds the mass together
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: before you stack it right into the ground. Once these
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: two things are pretty much set up, connected and plugged in,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: all you gotta do is just roll your mower into
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the charging dock and allow it to fully charge. It
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: should be pretty easy to see how much charge this
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: thing has due to the Giganta take led screen right
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: on top of this thing. It makes things pretty obvious
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: for you. Now at this point, this is your time
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to sit back and relax and allow this thing to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: get a full charge, maybe marinate your meat, throw some
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: ice in the cooler, and most importantly, charge your phone
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: because you're gonna need it for a while during this
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: next step, which is mapping out the overall area of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: your yard. So this is where you connect the mower
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to Wi Fi and Bluetooth and pretty much get on
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the app and start practice driving your mower around. Now.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I found this to be one of the most rewarding
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: parts of this device. It's really fun driving this thing around.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of a zippy little RC car that
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you play with back in the day when you were
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a kid. I really like how this thing drove. It
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: is kind of squirrely when it's on uneven surfaces here
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and there, but the overall connectivity with the app to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the device is pretty much seamless, and there's also little
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to no latency with it, which also could be a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: problem otherwise. And once you've gotten a good feel for
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the controls of this little robo mower, you then select
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a starting point on your yard and start mapping around
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the boundary of where you want this mower to mow
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: within and not cross. Now, for the step you want
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to take, your time be as precise as possible, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: if you mess up, don't worry because at the top
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: right of this app there's actually a little erase function.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: You hold down that button and the mower itself will
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: backtrack and erase that portion of the path that you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: just drew, so you can then draw it again. It's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: really cool. Mapping with the X three point fifteen also
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: presents some really useful and specific functions. Once you draw
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that boundary, you can then draw off limit islands places
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: basically in your yard where you want your mower to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: not enter, so that in this case happens to be
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: this rock that I'm sitting on and this tree beside me.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: So you can basically draw little paths around these types
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of obstacles so your mower nose to avoid them. After
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: tracing around those off limit islands, you can then set
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: up channels with this device, and the channel is basically
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a path for this mower to take without mowing. Actually,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: so if your yard is divided into separate sections, it
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: can just use a channel to get from one spot
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to the other. Now, my yard is just one big chunk,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: so the only channel I needed to set up was
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: basically just a path for this mower to take from
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the boundary that I set up right back to the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: charging dock. Now we're almost ready to mow, I promise you.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: But this next time of this video I like to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: refer to as things to know before you mow. Okay, now,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of things that this more can
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: do with the connectivity of the app. You can adjust
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the overall cutting height from two to four inches tall.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You can set this thing up on a schedule so
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it will mow on the times and days you specifically select,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: all on its own. There are different work modes you
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: can choose. Trash and control mow reports, whether adaptive features,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: anti theft and device lock modes. I mean, the list
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: goes on and on and on, but all that is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: pretty much meaningless if this thing doesn't actually mow, right,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So let's fire this puppy up and see how it
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: actually does. Because my guests just got here, and let
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: me tell you, they are hungry. While this mower does
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: its thing and I start barbecuing. I'm gonna check back
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: in with you later and report on how this thing
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: actually performed, so stay tuned, all right, So here we are.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: The mower has officially done its thing, and here are
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: my final thoughts on me X three fifteen. It did
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: take a while to mow everything, but I think it
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: did a pretty solid job, and it adhered to the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: map as I laid it down earlier, which is really nice.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's a really good product with a lot
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to offer, especially if you have the change for it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I think if you are maybe someone who's a little
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: bit older and established and you're looking for something that
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: will just do the job for you over time, this
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is the ticket. And the setup isn't half that either.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, I liked it. I think the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: team had a good time. What do you guys think
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: do you guys think I should keep using this mower? Uh,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do approve it video on this.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But that's gonna sum it up for today's video. If
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you liked it, like the video, subscribe to the channel
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: for a lot more how to do it all content
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and common down below. If you have any ideas for
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: us going forward, But that's gonna sum it up for
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: today's video. I'mby and we'll see you in the next one.
