I live in Charleston Sc and do a lot of fishing in the area. I usually take my drone with me for the occasions I want to check out an area I can't get to because of depth concerns. Anyway, I was in the harbor and wanted to take some pictures of Ft. Sumter. I knew it to be a national monument so I checked both fly spots and recommended zone for issues and neither showed any sort of restrictions. I kept a set back and took my picture, brought the drone back down and continued on my way. easy peasy. Now here I am a month or so later and I'm using b4ufly on my computer because I don't have my phone with me to check out another spot in the harbor I want to fly. Bam, I notice a huge red box around Ft. Sumter and here I am with a picture that I might have taken in a no fly zone. I can't really say that I did because I don't know exactly where the box ends or exactly where I had the drone when I took the picture. How am I supposed to deal with that? I know I can't trust the DJI app anymore that's for sure. I'm just kinda surprised that an FAA no fly zone isn't even marked in either of those maps. What are you guys using for your fly maps? Is the b4ufly app the be all end all when it comes to marking restricted areas? I seriously don't want to run into this issue again.
