DJI updates its geofencing system.

Some good quality-of-life updates for drone pilots in the US: DJI is ditching its own 12-year old geofencing system in favor of one with official FAA datasets. This update should help pilots better understand where they’re allowed to fly and avoid unintended flights in restricted zones.

Previous NFZs (No Fly Zones) are being replaced with Enhanced Warning Zones. Just make sure you get your authorization from FAA first.
