I didn't install 2.5 but then put 2.5.1 on just my iPhone (normally used for my Osmo). I went to the DJI Geo site and looked at the new "Authorization Zones", which it appears replace the previous No Fly Zones. Problem is that they cover virtually the entire city and suburbs of San Diego. Looks like a person will need permission to fly anytime anywhere.
I did try requesting a 3-day authorization online and it went smoothly. However, on the iPhone using 2.5.1, it still is showing the red NFZ's, not the new yellow Authorization zones.
Question: Is that working correctly? Will the new maps show up only after an upcoming firmware update? I'm a bit confused.
And not too happy that even the local club flying field will require a login/authorization every time you want to fly. If I understand right, once "verified" on DJI's store site, as long as you are connected to the internet on your device, when you are advised that you are in an advisory zone, you can click for permission to fly. But if for some reason that isn't working due to server issues, connection problems, etc., it appears a person is 100% screwed. No flying whatsoever until problems resolved. Not the most elegant solution to the problem. |
