Maybe DJI can collect magnetic interference information from its ACs and use it to display this as an additional warning. Like 8 of 10 pilots had compass errors here.
This would need to be packed in law and data privacy conform packing. Just an idea.
This is what I would recommend safe distance from magnetic interference.
Natural and Artificial Magnetic Anomalies Warning
The following information has not been objectively tested to determine it’s impact on a Drones compass accuracy in flight.
1 Many things can distort the earth’s magnetic field in the area you are flying:
• Steel framed or reinforced concrete buildings, bridges and roadways, iron pipes and culverts, high power electric lines, heavy equipment, trucks and automobiles, steel tanks, electric motors and even computers.
• Flying between steel framed or reinforced high rise buildings will distort the magnetic field in addition to causing GPS problems.
2 Safe distances for compass calibration
• 6” (15 cm) minimum: Metal rim glasses, pen/pencil, metal watch band, pocket knife, metal zipper/buttons, belt buckle, batteries, binoculars, cell phone, keys, camera, camcorder, survey nails, metal tape measure.
• 18” (50 cm) minimum: Clipboard, data collector, computer, GPS antenna, 2-way radio, , cell phone case with magnetic closure.
• 6 ft (2 m) minimum: Bicycle, fire hydrant, road signs, sewer cap or drain, steel pole, guy wire, magnets, chain-link fence, bar-wire fence, data collectors
that use a magnet to hold the stylus.
• 15 ft (5 m) minimum: Electrical box, small car/truck, powerline, building with concrete & steel.
• 30 ft (10 m) minimum: Large truck, metal building, heavy machinery.
