DJIs Geo is an utter failure and a serious accident waiting to happen.
No aircraft uses such a system and for good reason, no pilot would allow himself to be trapped aboard an aircraft he's responsible for safely flying that could randomly steal control away from him and potentially crash it.
Additionally, DJI controls the Geo database, not the FAA or other responsible party. They can establish (and have) random NFZ and TFR anywhere and anytime they like with utter impunity. They do not answer to anyone, have no oversight and we know they don't care about customer feedback whatsoever.
The US Army isn't about to let a Chinese company decide when it's drones can fly and/or where and has dropped ALL DJI products.
If DJI is smart they will immediately remove Geo from their firmware or, at a minimum, allow it to be turned off easily. Period. No negotiation or empty promises to fix it someday.
I couldn't take off again today, in a nice wide open area not near anything and without any FRs of any kind, just big brother DJI lying to me claiming that I was in a NFZ and Cannot Take Off. Thankfully I brought an old P3 I borrowed from a friend with older firmware and was able to do the job without the client knowing I had issues.
If Gro hasn't screwed with you, I'm happy for your luck but uninterested in your reply. For every one of us complaining about Geo in this forum, I'd bet there are a dozen more in the real world. We need to make DJI aware of our dissatisfaction.
