To my knowledge there is no way other than to connect to the Fly app and do it that way.

There is an option in DJI Pilot 2 App. When you go to account > Map Settings > Offline Map Download and press little map download icon in the top right corner it takes you to the screen with "Import" button where you can select internal storage or sd card to import from external source.

You can create mbtiles files and import these into DJI Pilot 2 for the Mavic 3 enterprise.  There is another post on the forums detailing how you can do this here https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... D673%26typeid%3D673, note I found that you can NOT have a space in the filename otherwise it will preview but crash DJI Pilot 2 when you enable it.

Thanks for reply. I've seen this guide before, but I believe this is mainly for creating custom layers in maps. I just need a simple way to download offline maps for the remote area I'm working on from external device.

In that case you'll need to use the inbuilt offline maps download feature of DJI Pilot 2 with a wifi connection to Internet or with the 4G dongle.  Remember you can also use 3rd party software as well with the Enterprise, so that's something else to consider if this doesn't meet your needs.

Connecting RC pro to something with internet is not an option, its already at remote job site and there is no reception. So I have to preload it to SD card before i get there. And I'm sure there is an option to do it otherwise what's the point of import button in offline maps interface.

Hi there. Here are the instructions:
1. Login to MapTiler official website to download MBTiles format maps.
Official website link: (data.maptiler.com/downloads).
2. On the RC, open Pilot2 Settings, then "Map Settings>Custom Layer>Import," then choose the MBTile file in the folder where it was saved.
We hope this helps.

This link hits a paywall. Have you or anyone else resolved this issue? I have a Mavic 3T with the RC PRO and my offline map resolution is so poor the maps are completely useless.
