Yeah, and doesn't want to pay people to maintain that feature. It makes sense for them. Still, that feature and their maps were awesome. I hope they don't stop updating their maps that show the boundaries because IMHo they're better than anything else, though I think they may not meet FAA requirements. All the FAA maps I've seen look so primitive and have seemingly contradictory information.

As a pilot...the real faa maps take training to read, but they are quite accurate. But maybe they publish something useless and contradictory for drone operators.
