Encountered the GEO system for the first time this weekend. I went to a place, near a baseball stadium, that I used to not be able to fly in. Months ago when GEO arrived, suddenly the area was open and I could fly in it. Nothing to do but see a message on the screen.
Sunday I tried and had the Cannot Take Off message - no game had been played that day or would be (or for 24+ hours) Hmmm...

I didn't know how to make GEO kick in - I fooled with it and I have to be honest I forgot what I did but suddenly there it was, GEO asking if I wanted to self-authorize to fly?!
Of course I do; pick from CC or phone - had my phone in my pocket so picked phone. I typed in my cell number and clicked Verify. I received a text from DJI wiht a number almost immediately; 10 seconds later the GO screen says verify falied. But I was never given anywhere to type in the code. I tried this twice.

I switched to credit card, entered my info and 10 seconds later, Safe To Fly (GPS).

So, 2 questions:
What exactly is the proceedure we should follow when we are told Cannot Take Off and we'd like to self-authorize (how do we make the window pop up)?
How do I use my cell phone to verify? Is this a bug or could I have done something wrong?

Thank you in advance, sorry no screen shots.

Thanks, but  didn't answer either question.

And in this case, I couldn't because I no way of knowing ahead of time. Even as I was told I could. It take off there were no warning zones green, yellow or red, on any map anywhere telling me I couldn't.

There is a map inside that link.You can search the place in advance.And for the phone verify ,could you please try again.If you could post a screenshot of the error message, that will be helpful.

I got the same error message...."Upload unlock information failed...Unknown error.  Error ID(411).

I do not have a screen shot.  

Was able to get drone to fly after I delted the app and reinstalled it.
