FIRST THINGS FIRST

You can’t remap all Roomba models. The only Roomba models that support remapping fall in the range i7 and s9 & 960 to 980.

Any other previous models don’t have a Smart Mapping option in them, meaning you don’t need to remap them as they don’t offer any mapping.

You will want to follow this 7-step easy procedure to complete the remapping of your old room with changed furniture placement or a different room.

The first thing that you need to do is make sure that the power station of your cleaning machine is connected to an uninterrupted power supply.

If it is not the case, and its battery dies down in the middle of remapping, you will have to do everything from scratch when it restarts.

Moreover, Roomba will use the stations as the reference point and will always start its route from there.

During the remapping process, it will need to come to the reference point again and again to carry out the procedure.

Step 2: Install the Roomba Home App

In the second step, you will need to install the Roomba Home App, which is available on Google Play and App Store for Android and iOS users, respectively.

Now locate your Roomba and play a song to check the connection.

Step 3: Reset the Map
