Geo Zone incorrect.

[jefftrinh-natureeye]

Hi team,

I’m seeing a strange issue. When using the Pilot app or searching on the web, if I look around the Boston (USA) area at coordinates 42.342023, -71.093854, I don’t see any Authorization Zones (blue zones). Everything is shown as Enhanced Warning Zones only.

However, when using my app with MSDK v5.17.0, I’m still receiving Authorization Zone data.
My code:

private final FlySafeNotificationListener flySafeNotificationListener = new FlySafeNotificationListener() {
        @Override
        public void onWarningNotificationUpdate(@NonNull FlySafeWarningInformation info) {
            // No code
        }

        @Override
        public void onSeriousWarningNotificationUpdate(@NonNull FlySafeSeriousWarningInformation info) {
//            flyZoneInformationDataProcessor.onNext(info.getFlyZoneInformation());
        }

        @Override
        public void onReturnToHomeNotificationUpdate(@NonNull FlySafeReturnToHomeInformation info) {
            // No code

        }

        @Override
        public void onTipNotificationUpdate(@NonNull FlySafeTipInformation info) {
            // No code
        }

        @Override
        public void onSurroundingFlyZonesUpdate(@NonNull List<FlyZoneInformation> infos) {
            flyZoneInformationDataProcessor.onNext(infos);
        }
    };

inSetup() {
  FlyZoneManager.getInstance().addFlySafeNotificationListener(flySafeNotificationListener);
}


// when takeoff call this function to update zones.
private void updateFlyZoneInformation() {
        LocationCoordinate2D location = KeyManager.getInstance().getValue(KeyTools.createKey(FlightControllerKey.KeyAircraftLocation));
        if (location == null) {
            return;
        }
        FlyZoneManager.getInstance().getFlyZonesInSurroundingArea(location, new CommonCallbacks.CompletionCallbackWithParam<List<FlyZoneInformation>>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(List<FlyZoneInformation> flyZoneInformation) {
                flyZoneInformationDataProcessor.onNext(flyZoneInformation);
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(@NonNull IDJIError error) {
                //do nothing
            }
        });
    }

Based on what I’ve researched, in the USA Authorization Zones, Restricted Zones, and similar zones have been removed and replaced with Enhanced Warning Zones. In this case, how can I receive accurate zone data without having to remove the code that renders Authorization Zones?

Thanks!.

Dear Developer,

The fly zones obtained via the MSDK interface should be consistent with those displayed in the DJI Pilot 2 APP or on the webpage (https://fly-safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query).

When querying fly zones in your MSDK APP, you need to ensure that the aircraft has a strong GPS positioning signal and that the remote controller has a stable network connection.

Additionally, you can use the MSDK v5.17.0 sample app, navigate to Testing Tools > Fly Safe page to query the relevant no-fly zones, and then check if the results are normal.

Thank you for your response.

After testing with the MSDK v5.17.0 sample app and navigating to Testing Tools > Fly Safe, I noticed that no zones are being reported. I tried tapping Get Fly Zones In Surrounding Area (50000M) several times, but I didn’t see any yellow or blue zones at all.
I moved the camera around that area over a wide range, but still didn’t see anything.

Dear Developer,

When I simulated the Boston area coordinates (42.342023, -71.093854) using the MSDK v5.17.0 sample app to check the fly zones information, it matched what’s shown in the DJI Pilot 2 APP. You can refer to the screenshots in the network drive for details：https://pan-sec.djicorp.com/s/wxDaDXPAA4CrkwQ

It’s recommended that you update to the latest version via the FlySafe Database page in the Geo Zone Map section of the DJI Pilot 2 APP.

Additionally, we noticed that your aircraft’s firmware version is 10.01.0503, which is quite outdated and may not be compatible with the latest MSDK interfaces.

We suggest updating both the aircraft and remote controller firmware to the latest version: you can do this either through the DJI Pilot 2 APP, or by using the DJI Assistant 2 (Enterprise Series) software on a computer—connect the aircraft or remote controller to the computer via a USB-C cable, then perform the update in the DJI Assistant 2 (Enterprise Series) software.

Let me try it, thank you!.

Hi team,
After upgrading to the latest firmware version, I can now see zones in the sample app. However, I’m still seeing Authorization Zones (blue zones) there. In the Pilot app, I don’t see Authorization Zones at all—only Enhanced Warning Zones or Warning Zones (I’ve already updated the FlySafe database to the latest version in the Pilot app).

What should I do to make the zone data in my app match the Pilot app, without having to remove the code that renders Authorization Zones?

Dear Developer,

Acknowledged. We have forwarded your issue to the MSDK R&D team for investigation and troubleshooting.

Additionally, we would like to confirm: apart from the sample app failing to display the same restricted flight zones as the Pilot 2 app, when the aircraft is at longitude -71.093854, latitude 42.3423°, is the data you obtain via addFlySafeNotificationListener also inconsistent with that shown in the Pilot 2 app?

Hi team,
I’m not sure if there are any other differences. At the moment, I’m only working on rendering zones on the map and making sure my app behaves the same way as the Pilot app, and the only issue I’ve found so far is the incorrect zone data.

Dear Developer,

Understood. We have forwarded your feedback to the MSDK R&D team and will update you once there is any progress.

Okay, thanks team.

Dear Developer,

The MSDK R&D team has provided the analysis result: the issue arises because the App Static Safety Database of MSDK is not updated. -

• MSDK cannot share the App Static Safety Database from the DJI Pilot 2 App, which leads to discrepancies in the flight zone maps rendered by the MSDK app and the DJI Pilot 2 App.
• However, actual flight will not be affected, as both are controlled by the Aircraft Static Safety Database — which you should have already updated in the Pilot 2 App. You can also obtain the actual flight space status returned by the aircraft via MSDK's addFlySafeNotificationListener interface.

Additionally, the App Static Safety Database of MSDK is updated locally. It has been scheduled for an update in the upcoming version v5.18.0, and after the update, you will be able to get the same flight zones as those in the DJI Pilot 2 App.

The specific release date of MSDK v5.18.0 has not been determined yet. Please keep an eye on the MSDK version release notes at: https://developer.dji.com/doc/mobile-sdk-tutorial/en/.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Best Regards,
DJI Innovations SDK Technical Support Team
