DJI Air 3S and "Convert to DJI Waypoints".
I know there is no SDK for the AIR 3S. What I do not know is how the "Convert to DJI Waypoints" in Dronelink works. Can that be used to create a file that can be moved into the controller for flying onboard waypoints, or in my case the iPhone used to control the drone? I can hack the system to replace a current mission with a new one, but do not know if the file produced by the conversion will be readable by the drone.
Has anyone tried this?
Lacking that, has anyone seen, or know of a method to put maps (or other missions) into an Air 3S? I know of one, but so far it isn't anything like what I am used to when creating map plans in Dronelink.

The DL KMZ file format won’t work in the DJI Waypoints. I’ve tried a bunch of ways with my Air 3 after I got it over a year ago. Paths are so easy I just use the DJI Fly app. If you want to do mapping the Map Pilot Pro app has Export Only for the newest drones which support DJI Waypoints. It works ok but the free version is very limited. Altitude, overlap as well other more advanced features would need a subscription to utilize all the benefits.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look at Map Pilot Pro, but may just stick with the Mini 2 with DL for mapping. I wonder, and see this on some sites, if the direction for DJI is to quit releasing SDK's if software developers are going to need to start coming up with other methods to keep selling? Seems like the list of unsupported drones and OS'es is growing faster than the supported ones, especially new releases. It is just such a "klunky" work around to have to import and rename files to make them work.
Oh well, with all the other things going on who knows what drones we may/may not be flying in the future.
Unfortunately DJI seems to have stoped all SDK support for any newer drones. I’m just a hobbyist but I’m sure a ton of commercial pilots are not happy. Enjoy…
