Overview of the ECOVACS GOAT G1 Navigation Beacon
Revolutionize your lawn care with the ECOVACS GOAT G1 Navigation Beacon, the essential component for a truly automated and wire-free mowing experience. This beacon is a core part of the GOAT G1's advanced navigation system, eliminating the need for cumbersome and time-consuming physical boundary wires. By creating a powerful and stable signal network in your yard, these beacons allow your GOAT G1 robotic mower to understand its precise location and navigate your lawn's unique layout with unparalleled accuracy. Setting up your robotic mower has never been easier or more efficient.
Key Features & Technologies
The GOAT G1 Navigation Beacon is engineered with advanced technology to provide a seamless and reliable connection for your robotic lawnmower. It simplifies setup and enhances the mower's performance.
-
Wire-Free Boundary System
The standout feature is the complete elimination of physical perimeter wires. The beacons create an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) network that your GOAT G1 mower uses to define its mowing area. This saves hours of manual installation and allows for easy boundary adjustments directly from the ECOVACS HOME App.
-
Stable and Precise Signal
By combining UWB and GPS technologies, each beacon transmits a highly stable signal. This ensures your GOAT G1 maintains a constant, precise connection for accurate localization and navigation, preventing it from getting lost or crossing into no-go zones, even in yards with trees or other obstacles.
-
Effortless Setup and Scalability
Installation is incredibly simple. Just insert the included batteries and place the beacons in strategic locations around your lawn. For larger or more complex L-shaped or U-shaped lawns, you can easily add more beacons to the system to ensure complete coverage, supporting up to 10 beacons for a single GOAT G1 mower.

Design and Build Quality
The ECOVACS GOAT G1 Navigation Beacon is designed to be both functional and discreet in your garden environment. It is built with high-quality, weather-resistant materials to withstand outdoor conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance throughout the seasons. The simple, pole-like design in a clean white color allows it to blend into your yard with minimal visual impact. When assembled with its navigation-assisted pole, the beacon stands firmly in the ground, providing a stable and reliable signal source.
Ease of Use
The primary design principle behind the Navigation Beacon is user-friendliness. The setup is straightforward and managed entirely through the ECOVACS HOME App. The app guides you through the simple process of adding each beacon and placing it correctly. Battery installation is tool-free; simply twist the top part of the beacon to open the compartment. Once the beacons are in place, you define the mowing area by driving the GOAT G1 mower around the perimeter once with the app's virtual joystick, a process that is significantly faster than laying physical wire.
Real-life Applications
These navigation beacons are essential for any GOAT G1 owner and are particularly useful in specific scenarios:
- Expanding Coverage: Add more beacons to cover larger lawns up to 1600 square meters.
- Complex Lawn Shapes: Ideal for yards that are not simple squares, such as those with L-shapes, U-shapes, or separated grass sections.
- Improving Signal Strength: Use additional beacons to ensure a strong and stable signal if your yard has significant obstacles like dense trees or sheds that could interfere with communication.
Compatibility
The GOAT G1 Navigation Beacon (Model: MNB010001) is exclusively designed for and fully compatible with the ECOVACS GOAT G1 series of robotic lawnmowers. It is not intended for use with other ECOVACS products or different brands of robotic mowers.
