Very disappointed with DJI's GEO System which is totally unupdated and unreliable. I'll give you only one example: the case of SPAIN, where the airspace's REAL and LEGAL conditions are correctly described by its regulatory body ENAIRE: https://drones.enaire.es/On DJI's GEO System helliports, small airfields and not so small aerodormes as well as many forbiden, restricted or controlled flightzones simply do not appear. This is very trouble inducing for drone users, especially for those unfamiliarized with flight laws and regulations. Recall there is a 8km from all these of no fly zone (in some cases, flight is allowed with prior authorization of the airport, etc.)
I think if GEO System can't be kept updated and 100% reliable is better to eliminate it. People rely on it and can get into big troubles flying in a restricted area while thinking they fly legally. Of course, no notifications through the DJI's GO or GO4 apps during the flight either...
Hope it is not a marketing strategy to sell more drones and avoiding to scare too much the potential customers...Drones are becoming a mass phenomenon and, the more drones will be flying, more menaces for the whole aviation world which, in turn, reacts controlling and restricting more and more the airspace available for RPAS. For this reason I think is of utmost importance, the users have available real, updated, trustworthy information. Voluntarily law breakers affect us a lot.Involuntarily law breakers, because of inaccurate information, shouldn't exist nor affect any of us.
Yes I know there is a disclaimer on the same page: ''While we've made every effort to provide comprehensive information, this page is not a substitute for a pilot's own good judgment. As a DJI pilot, you are solely responsible for assuring your flights are conducted safely and in accordance with all local laws and regulations.'' but still think that keeping GEO as it is now, is a totally lose of time, trust and safety for the users as well as for the team working on it on behalf of DJI.
