Autel Robotics adds geofencing to EVO II through firmware update

Autel Robotics launches new firmware and app versions for the Autel EVO II. Through the new Firmware Update, Autel brings geofencing and a range of other new features to the drone.

It is important to point out that Autel will only send you geofencing warning notifications and will still allow you to take off. Unless the country in which you, fly requires Autel to restrict you. Not the end of the world yet, but it does open the door for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to impose restrictions on Autel pilots.

Autel Robotics releases new firmware version V2.725 for the Autel EVO II drone as well as a new iOS app V1.10.11 and a new Android app V1.17.73.

• No Fly Zone Database update: Autel introduces a compulsory no-fly zone database update for users in Japan, the USA, Australia, and the greater China area. This is based on your drone's GPS location. Unless you are a user in a country that requires that Autel restricts you in a no-fly zone, you will only see notifications in your local airspace. You will not be restricted from taking off.

Air space regulation database update – In order to continue to provide users with a safe flying experience, we have implemented a compulsory no-fly zone database update. This update will be uploaded to your aircraft. It will allow users in Countries with no-fly zone laws and regulations to apply for a waiver if required by the local government. In addition, with updates to the database, customers will have the latest information regarding the local airspace. We believe this will assist users in executing saver flights in accordance with a local laws and regulations.
