How do GPS robot mowers work?

GPS robot mowers use satellite positioning, mapping technology, sensors, and software to understand where they are on the lawn. Advanced models, like Sunseeker Elite X5 and X7, combine RTK, VSLAM, AI vision, and virtual boundaries to plan routes, avoid obstacles, and mow more accurately without relying only on random movement.
What are the advantages of GPS over traditional lawn mowers?

GPS robotic mowers save time by mowing automatically and following smarter routes. Compared with traditional lawn mowers, they reduce physical effort, support scheduled mowing, and can manage zones more easily. Sunseeker Elite GPS lawn mowers also add AI vision, app control, virtual boundaries, and strong terrain performance for modern lawn care.
What is the best GPS mower?

The best GPS mower depends on your lawn size, slope, layout, and budget. For large or demanding lawns, Sunseeker Elite X7 and X7 Plus with RTK + VSLAM, Vision AI, AWD, and up to 6,000 m² coverage are strong choices. For smaller yards, choose Sunseeker Elite X3 Gen 2 or X5 with suitable coverage and simpler zone control.
Which is better: a GPS or a boundary wire robot lawn mower?

GPS robot mowers are usually better for flexible, changing, or multi-zone gardens because they use virtual boundaries and need no buried wire. Boundary wire mowers can still work well for simple lawns and lower budgets. If easy setup and future adjustments matter, GPS-style mowing is often more convenient.
