Hi for all! Everyone knows that now there are devices that create a false GPS signal. These devices can be used by both private individuals and government agencies. Usually, these devices create a false FPS signal like no-fly zone. And in this case, any quadroopter begins an immediate landing, or abruptly changes course and flies in an unknown direction. So you can lose your drone and never find it again! Are there any ways to counteract this, if this happens suddenly? What should I do in such a case that I do not lose my Spark?

Just go flying somewhereelse. This world is too large for such device to be found everywhere.

it can happen at any time ... for example, when I fly over a private area, and the owner has equipment for a false GPS signal. As soon as the drone receives the signal no-fly zone, it landing immediately ... on alien territory! and I can not manage it anymore! (

Sounds like there are hazards to flying over private areas.  Radio control model flying fields and open parks should be good to go though.  No GPS jammers there.

That is what I mean. Flying over private property is forbidden. So go flying over allowed public area.

Hi, guys. It sounds terrible. I would recommend users double check the flight environment and know about the info of NFZ in the place. Here is the link from our website: http://www.dji.com/flysafe?site=brandsite&from=footer.

This depends on the country's legislation.

This again depends on the legislation. In Poland use of a GPS jammer is forbidden.

GPS jammers have nothing to do with NFZ. And there is no map that can show where someone uses such a device.

You're wrong! I live close to government agencies ... and I've seen it many times when I was cycling, that my location suddenly becomes false and moves to the airport, which is 25km away from me! And this means that the position of the GPS is shifted to a no-fly zone, and any drone in this case will make an emergency landing, wherever it is! This is a big problem for flights!

The thing is that this can happen unexpectedly when the drone is already in flight! And then what? Does it think DJI that this problem will only grow with time ... and it will be necessary to somehow counteract this! I think that many cases with uncontrolled flight of drones away from the owner are connected with this problem!

Thanks for your feedback and attention. The situation will be forwarded. I believe that our engineers will try their best to find solutions.

Actually the communication between RC and SPARK is by using spread spectrum ( frequency hopping technique ) ...It is not easy to jam these signals unless you know the algorithim in advance....

Do you have any proof of that?
