Is NFZ updated through updating the controller or the actual drone?

I'm new here, so sorry if I'm posting this in a wrong area. I was curious if the No Fly Zone maps is updated from updating the controller individually or the drone. Thank you.

All indications seem to point to only the Apps database being updated.
New firmware may change that.

Thanks for your reply. However I don't think it's updated through the app, it's either the drone or the controller. The reason I say that is because I had a defective drone that I had updated to .800 when I first got it. There is a military base near our city and it takes up 30% of our small city as a NFZ. When I exchanged my defective drone for a new one I noticed that before I had updated the replacement, the NFZ turned into a green "Fly With Caution" area. This is on .700 firmware.

Then the app probably does write to the drones database and updates it. A lot is being learned as we speak, I am reading a lot of new stuff every day on how the NFZ files work. I know its a three tiered system, but people are still looking into all the interactions.
