The DJI GEO System is an absolute joke. There are several points I would like to make on this:
1. I am a certified Unmanned Aircraft System pilot. I paid the $150 and passed the test proving that I can read a sectional map that tells me what areas are controlled air spaces. This is ridiculous that now DJI comes along and says, "there are airports in this area, you can't fly without permission". Well there are airports in my area, but that does not mean the air space is restricted! 2. Some will say "well your certified, but this feature is for the countless others that aren’t". Well yes that is true, but most people flying drones aren’t buying $1500 drones from DJI. They are walking into Walmart, BestBuy, Target or countless other stores and buying countless other brands that have no GPS tracking system. 3. DJI is playing police with this restriction. But they are also selling goggles?! This does not make sense because in the USA you must always keep your drone in your line of sight. They cover there butts where they might get roped into a lawsuit for someone flying where they are not supposed to, but they also want your money for their goggles. DJI needs to get rid of this feature. It is ridiculous.
