For years, DJI was the only drone manufacturer that had implemented geofences—essentially virtual boundaries—into its firmware. The built-in software feature used GPS to determine a drone’s location and automatically prevent it from taking off or flying in designated no-fly zones (NFZs)—a safeguard that many drone pilots, security teams, and critical infrastructure operators unknowingly relied on. Now, that layer of protection is gone.
