And I really should have gotten the 12 zone costco one, as I have 12 zones!, but I didn’t know it existed until after I already got the larger one from the rachio store…

Are there any updates regarding the ability to map my yard with my computer rather than phone app? It would be so much easier to map my yard / zones via my computer than my cell phone. Thanks!

+1 for these two suggestions: yard mapping, and to do so on a Windows or MacOS machine, not just an iOS/Android device.

+1 for this request as well. I am glad to see that this feature is available outside of the Costco 12 zone Rachio 3.
To find it on iPhone, Go to More / Yard Map.

My 16 zone from Amazon has it.
I mapped using a tablet.
Works great.
Took an hour or so to map all of my zones and sprinkler heads. Tip, use your galaxy S Pen, much more accurate. Just keep in mind, they designed software to work with fingers. So, tap screen with pen, wait for marker to realign, then move it into place. After you figure this out, it’s easy and accurate. There is no undo, so if you screw up the zone, you have to clear the whole thing.

This is definitely required. A “must have”! It’s imposible to use yard map on a phone.

I have a gen 3 i bought last year (non costco version). However I don’t see it on the map on my iphone. Is there something i need to do. Looks like my firmware is up to date.

Hmmm. On your iPhone, if you open the app, tap on More on the bottom right hand corner. Then you should see the option called Yard Map. See Screenshots that I attached.
If not, I would suggest you reach out to Rachio to see what’s up.
Just make sure you have the latest version of the app installed on your iPhone.

I am also a +1 on this request. I would like to be able to modify the yard map from the web app on a pc.
When I bring it up on my pixel 2 xl the google maps view is way too small to be able to draw the yard markers or move any of the markers or place the sprinklers.

+1, its a pain to add using an iPad.

Are you saying that you have the ability to map on your yard on your PC or that you just now are able to map your yard on your iPad?

I’m all for doing everything on a computer; please add the missing website features.

I believe it also sets the square feet for the zone in the zone’s advanced properties, which is then used to calculate gallons of water used (or saved).

+1 on this request, also on iPhone it is not possible to set draw zone points on already overlapped area. Please add PC/Web option for this with…

+1 for all of these great suggestions. We need an easier way to edit the map without clearing all the existing data.

The satellite images seem really old. We’ve done a lot of work on our property and doesn’t match The satellite image. Rachio, anyway, to update the satellite images?

I have both a survey map and drone photos of my yard that I would like to use to map my sprinklers.
