I had thought I could drop pins in google maps and fly to them, but they don’t seem to import into the explorer app. Has anyone tried this a different way?
 
I use the Waypoint tool on the Intelligent Flight options page in the Explorer app - click on the Google map to create waypoints as part of a saved waypoint route. Works for me but be careful about your altitudes - especially the first and last waypoints.

Right, I can click a spot on the map, and the drone will fly to it, but knowing the lat/long coords of that spot is the issue, especially when flying without data coverage and a blank map.
 
Why should data coverage be a requirement for maps?
Why should a google account be a requiement for maps?

I can download free maps of all kinds, but I cannot use persistent maps in Explorer - yet! :)
 
Have you come up with anything? I'd like to enter LAT and LON directly as values, and not pick waypoints from a map, but I can't find the file where the mission is stored.
 
Probably not what you're looking for, take a quick look anyway.
