Thanks for saying what so many of us have been thinking.
Or just fly until the air clears.So stupid question, I haven't flown my mavic since i got the notification (not because I'm scared) but because the weather has been bipolar. But my question is... seems like the firmware update is kind of a drag so should I update the firmware? Or should I leave it as is and deal with the annoying notification every time I turn on my mavic?
I think when the GPS recognizes that you have moved into a different area it will want to update that area and DJi Go4 app will tell the firmware ... "Don't go anyplace until I have given you permission". If we continue to allow these low class red-necked congressmen to willy-nilly make laws because it makes them feel important then drone flying in America will just die out and become a niche thing. If drone flying in the US becomes as restrictive as Canada then drone business will be effectively throttled and will quietly fade away. These morons are effectively elected by money, and not common sense.
Yep .... at this point I will not buy a second drone and will start looking for someplace else to put my money. 99.9% of the things people worry about never happen but congress jump on the glory bandwagon to make a name for themselves. Passing laws against things that haven't happened on don't often happen is easy, but the hard stuff of passing laws where people are killed every day by something .... like Texting while moving in a car ... well that's too hard and the battle is long. Let's make these law makers explain themselves. The truth is ... they can't and just wanted to sound important.

As for the update, i am new to all this as well, had my drone for days pretty much and i have carried the update out. For me personally, to register and log into my app to clear the notification to be able to fly higher and further than the restricted limit then i have no problem with that. Reading all the comments about why people dont want to upate again that is none of my business and thats up to them. BUT you do make a good point about taking the drone to other countries where you may not have a travelling sim card for instance and cannot log in. Again me personally, if it means picking up a sim card from the country i am in that i will probably need anyway then i can kill 2 birds with 1 stone, communicate when im there and get to take my Maavic out for a fly. Doesnt help though even if you are in an area in your own country where there is no reception to be able to log in never mind being in another country with no reception and i dont know how you can get around that apart from not having the update?
According to the DJI GEO Map, that's within the SB Muni Auth zone (yellow), but not the restricted flight zone. You should be able to unlock that easily either ahead of time on the GEO website, or at the time of flight with GO4 so long as you're connected to the internet.
