Exporting KMZ from Map Pilot Pro for Air 3 to iOS

On the iOS device you would need to create a dummy mission using the DJI app. Then you would export a mission using Map Pilot Pro. That would get written to the wayline_mission folder as a new folder and KMZ file, not overwriting anything since we can write new missions for iOS (not just overwrite). You could then take the KMZ from wherever it lands and import it into Android by overwriting the KMZ file that is written there. The filename has to be the same as the one created by making the dummy mission in Android.  

We have added an option in 5.11.2 that should be out tomorrow that allows you to enable "Export Simple KMZ" in the Advanced section of the Settings. This will make it so you can choose where to write the KMZ file to instead of the iOS database that usually gets used. This would be used for export to RC2 remotes. 

Thanks, Zane, but can you please explain how to do this? 

The new option allows you to save the KMZ to your Downloads folder or wherever on your iOS device. You can then share it to your computer via AirDrop or Email. Then you are on your own to transfer the KMZ file to your DJI RC2 remote using whatever Android tool you want. Make sure you have already created a dummy mission and then overwrite the dummy mission KMZ in the DJI Fly apps wayline_mission folder with the one created by Map Pilot Pro. 

All of this only applies for iOS and RC2 remote. With DJI's other remotes you should run Map Pilot Pro right on that and it will just write the files directly to where they need to be. 

Thank you, Zane. To confirm, I am using Mavic 3 Pro. Does that matter? 

That doesn't matter. The "Export Simple KMZ" setting is for people who are generating a KMZ on an iOS remote and to use on a different device. It is very similar to what has to be done for Android 11+ since you have to move files around and rename them. 

We have updated all of the videos in the KMZ Export article to show the full process for iOS, iOS to RC2 Remote, Android 10-, and Android 11+.

Thank you for the update Zane!
I downloaded the update and was able to export the kmz to the downloads folder on iOS.

My workaround prior to this update was that i went and bought the cheapest android tablet on amazon i could find (was on sale for $100, android 13 and 6+6 RAM) solely for installing MPP and being able to export KMZ files. That worked for me, and i might continue to use that because of the large 10" screen for mapping missions, and not having to deal with itunes. 

It's really nice to know i can do the same thing from my iphone now though too! 

Thank you!
