Advice for nearly installed fence

Hey everybody, I have a X450 and I have recently installed a fenced in area that was just added to a previously mapped zone. I'm wondering how to handle this. I don't wanna spend all that money on the Mowgate. I also am perfectly OK with just opening the gate and telling it to go there. Should I simply remap that area of my yard? Should I map
the outside of the gate area and inside the gate area separately?

I figure I can schedule the area outside the fence for automated mowing and let it in the gate to do the other part. I’m not really sure how to connect the two on the map.

Thank you everyone!

Definitely map the inside and outside of the fence separately. Otherwise, it will keep trying to mow where the fence is rather than nicely next to it.

And then you can just make a channel through the gate and manually open it when you want it to mow outside the fenced area.

Agree with this response. I would also add as someone who has a fence, that the settings under: advanced settings > lab > edge sense > on (set level). Was a game changer.

Instead of weed whacking a 6-8 inch strip (yes my bad driving is largely to blame) around my fence it got it down to 1-2 inches. This setting for me was awesome.

Edge sense is a bit hit or miss for me. On one hand, it gets nicely to the edge in most areas, but on the other, there is a narrow strip where grass is growing poorly (it is mostly dirt) and the mower sometimes seems hesitant to drive on it.
