I thoroughy planned a job, applied for advanced unlocking even though the job was 100% indoors, just in case the I2 picked up a GPS signal indoors. I2 is running latest firmware with the NFZ update.

Arrived on site and discovered that the yellow Unlocking zone has now been engulfed by the red NFZ which meant the drone wouldn't take off and left me looking quite stupid.

I fully support that NFZ's are needed, but the DJI GEO map MUST reflect the NFZ list in the DJI App/Firmware updates, as this was a wasted 100 mile journey and a loss of revenue for me.

This is bad news to hear and sorry for your lost job. I have flown inside a NFZ but it was indoors with a Mavic Pro. I had no problems at all. This was a car dealership near the local airport.  Regarding your situation, I am surprised the motors would not start inside the building
I hope DJI fixes this and more closely matches the FAA NFZ maps
