How accurate are the map boundaries in the AutoPylot app?
I'm curious how accurate the edges/borders are in the AutoPylot app. Being near the AT and Cherokee National Forest, there are quite a few areas managed by the National Forest Service that have obvious drone operation restrictions (as shown on the map). To be brief, I want to know if I should be offsetting myself away from the border by some distance (.25 miles or so) to accommodate any potential inaccuracies/irregularities in the map. I want to be clear that I don't intend to operate from outside and then have a flight path that penetrates the airspace above the restricted area even though it might be technically legal-ish--see sample flight path shown in blue, though it will probably be much shorter due to trees interfering with line of sight. I won't fly over 400ft or without direct line of sight. Most of the time, I'm simply just flying straight up snapping a few pics and then landing. As a side note, I fly a sub-250 gram drone as a hobbyist--yes, I have my TRUST certificate. No, I don't have a Part 107 license.
