Now that DJI dropped Geo Fencing as of Jan 15, 2025, how do I get rid of Geo Fencing on my Mavic Pro drone which uses the Go4 app?
 
In the app under about where you check for updates. Update the fly database and it will be removed.
According to DJI removal of Geofencing is only available for DJI Fly app at the moment, not for Go4.
Hopefully they soon will implement it in Go4 as well.

I'll be looking for the day in earnest and holding off just a little longer. It's just a arduous chore for me to get that Geo fence off if I want to fly in controlled air space.

As the owner of three Mavic 1 Pros, a Mavic 2 Zoom, and two Mavic 2 Pros, I am so glad that I avoided all DJI firmware updates to exempt myself from the primary function of those "upgrades" which is usually to increase flight restrictions in a sneaky, clandestinely way.

It is rumored that with DJI Fly, firmware upgrades are no longer optional, but are imposed by force, automatically and without the user knowing what happened until unexpected restrictions materialize. With the demise of No Fly Zones, one wonders what other payloads will be slipped into those firmware upgrades in the future, even though I have no intention of finding out what those little surprises might be first-hand.
 
Do you have any info if/when it will be available for Go4?
I asked a couple of my DJI contacts that and a couple other questions that popped up in my group. Here is his answer:

"Are the GO apps also included? I don’t fly anything that uses those anymore, so I can’t check it. I’m getting conflicting answer by people who do.
GO4 will be included.

What areas are still fenced out? I’m hoping for DCFRZ, National Security Areas, DOD, etc.
There will no longer be geofenced zones. Just enhanced warning zones. We will of course monitor things and we are open to discussions on this topic.

Will Canada also get this? My group is international, so I’m seeing that questions.
Canada will not be included at this point. We may roll out the changes to additional markets later this year.

I flew a mission on Friday last week, after the announcement. I used an M2 Pro and Go 4. I was flying in an “old” geozone. When I started everything it prompted me to update my Flysafe database, which I did. Then flew with no hindrance.
