Here in hawaii I've been flying my mavic near my beach home, but as of the last few days the controller says I'm in a no fly zone and won't let me launch. I thought it was because the president was here on his way to Asia, but he's gone now and I still have the nfz. Maybe the nfz wasn't because of Trump, because I did recently update the database and I'm pretty near to Pearl Harbor. On the other hand I've seen other drones flying here. What can I do about this? How can I know if it's temporary? Any easy way to override? And if it's not temporary how do i see what areas here allow drones?
 
So far I've looked at the dji link, and its map shows areas with different levels of restrictions but nothing specifically called a no fly zone. I seem to be at the edge of one of the green, less-restricted zones and it says something about being able to temporarily unlock but so far I can't figure out how to do that. Will check out the other links, but would appreciate it if someone could either direct me to a map of Oahu, Hawaii with no fly zones clearly indicated, or tell me how to remove this restriction, since I think it was meant to be temporary.
 
Here is a screenshot of the data map of my area. I'm on ewa beach road, bottom center, to the left of the red restricted area. What does the number 100 mean in my square? Other squares have zero. And if I am in a permanent nfz, why have I seen at least three drones flying here?

Ok looking through other threads on this, I saw that changing the order of what you turn on first could make a difference, and that seems to have done the trick, nfz is gone.

That "100" is an indication that you are in Controlled Airspace. The 100 means that with a proper authorization from the FAA, you might be able to fly up to 100 feet AGL.

It looks like you are within the Class B airspace of HNL which extends from the surface at that location. Zoom out on the map to see the full extent of the airspace.
