Well we know pilots have a hard time using common sense on where to and where not to fly their drones but DJI is helping fix that issue. The DJI Geospatial Environment Online software already kept pilots from flying in sensitive areas (like the white house) but the update released today makes the setup even more useful.
DJI is making improvements to the system inside of its Go app that's used to control Phantom and Inspire drones. By doing so, DJI gives pilots easy access to its geofencing system that keeps airports, prisons and power plants permanently locked down in addition to temporary restrictions around special events like stadiums and "national security events."
In addition the DJI GEO system will also automatically update with temporary restrictions around wildfires so that drone pilots aren't interfering with firefighting aircraft. The improved GEO system is now available inside the DJI GO app for iOS and Android for use on all Inspire models and the Phantom 4, Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 3 Advanced drones. Owners will need to update the app as well as the firmware for the control and the drone itself to take advantage of the update.
