A dialog similar to DC download would be wonderful.

I quote you :)

Even if the user does not care about dive sites, we create them for
him once he saves the location names.
So, adding gps fixes after your are done with dives (and dive sites)
always applies to dive sites. Hence the dialog box will display a list
of "locations" without date/time.
Once the process is done, GPS fixes will apply to all dives done in
the same spot.
BTW if the user downloads gps fixes we can be sure that he cares about
dive sites management.

Last sunday I dove in a cave since one year. it was the first time I
had the companion app with me and I have 12 dives already logged
there.
If everything goes as planned (happy day scenario), once I import dc
data inside my V3 logbook I will start typing the cave name and I will
find that name already there.
I will save my dive with that name.
When I download GPS data and one fix matches one of my dive, I will
display a nice table with the dive site name followed by a count of
dives there.
i.e.

# - Lat/Long - Date Time - Dive Site - Number of dives affected

I will add it this evening.
