[QUOTE="RotorWash, post: 110380, member: 18210"] One side-effect of this proposed solution by DJI is it has a lot of pilots talking about the negative aspects of the general public knowing the pilot's location during flight. Even DJI themselves have stated how this is not a good idea for pilot security but they included it in the app as the FAA "may" want that capability. Hopefully the thousands of comments the FAA have already received will help sway them from this possibility. Most pilots don't have an issue with law enforcement knowing their location but giving the public this information is, as we all know, just asking for trouble. Even showing the flight path to the pubic is an issue as from that you can easily ascertain where the craft took off from. I'm sure the app could be modified so only police would have that particular info. [/QUOTE]
