An automated land maintenance vehicle, such as a lawn mower, includes means for inputting data relating to work regions, means for inputting instructions to be followed in each region, processing means for computing a work regime for the vehicle based upon the input data and means for providing a control means with the computed regime, such that the vehicle is controlled to perform the regime. The vehicle may receive radio transmissions from emitters 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d via an aerial 4 to allow it to determine its position and navigate around a work area 56a, 6b, 56c, 56d. The vehicle may be instructed to perform an operation, such as rolling, in particular direction, such that patterns may be viewed in the finished work area. The vehicle may also be instructed not to perform maintenance operations in, or to completely avoid, regions of high wear such as football pitch penalty areas 14, 19, 22, 26 and 28, 33, 35, 37. |
