Cannot fly. I live one mile from SFO. I have to drive 11 miles to test the MM. Everything went well. No hiccups.

Are you sure you are in Blue, not Orange zone? I get unable to list restrictions. What message are you getting? Blue is easy to inlock for all drones except Mini
Definitely flying in Blue. See attached file. I created a Geo unlock zone (circle) that goes right up to the red/orange boundary, and set a 400 foot altitude limit. I'm flying a M2P, so that might be the difference.
foiled or no - dji used quite a sh$tty gps unit in the MM - it works pretty much comparable to the usual cheap gps units like matek M8Q-5883. gets 7-9 sats on my frontyard. mavic 2 get 17-21 almost immediately, MM had to wait about of 2 min in the air until it got a link and agree to ascend above 20ft altitude limit.No need to apologize. Once I got the pun, I thought it was hilarious.
It's a bit unusual for DJI to have a red zone that far out from the runway. Usually they go blue before they go grey. I suppose it depends on the airspace class.Definitely flying in Blue.

It uses drone gps to check nfz ? i thought once I connect drone and connect to DJI fly, it'll use phone gps to check for nfz.
Isn't that the same case ? If I go to the map view and if it shows me in red zone then isn't that using phone gps to show my location ? And I viewed the map without connecting to drone and the map still shows me in red zone. And its strange it let you takeoff using that foil cover in nfz even the map clearly shows that you are in redzone.If that was the case, the Fly app wouldn’t work with most tablets. The app needs to know where the drone is, not where the phone/tablet is.
The map uses the phone GPS to show your location. The drone location is used for Geo fencing. That is what prevents a drone flying from a non-restricted zone to a restricted zone. The foil blocks the GPS signal to the drone so it does not know where it is.... If I go to the map view and if it shows me in red zone then isn't that using phone gps to show my location ?
