A method and a system for docking a robotic mower with a charging station is disclosed wherein the robotic mower comprises a control unit, a Real-Time Kinematic, RTK, unit, and a sensor and the charging station comprises a signal generator () and two near field wire loops. The system is configured to generate two synchronous near fields in the two near field wire loops, the near fields having magnetic fields in different directions and wherein the magnetic field is zero in between the two synchronous near fields, instruct the robotic mower to return to the charging station, navigate the robotic mower to a predetermined position using RTK, detect the near fields, navigate towards the zero magnetic field between the two near fields, and continue to navigate the robotic mower towards the charging station by following the zero magnetic field to dock with the charging station.
