Google Earth KML or KMZ
Original Tip Date:
Nov 30, 2006
Google Earth
KML
or
KMZ
?
With thanks to
Matt Gooding
and
Steve Young
for sharing this tip!
When creating a file to display in Google Earth, you have the option of specifying either a
KML
or
KMZ
formats. While both are valid, KMZ is a simply a compressed version of KML which can significantly reduce the file size.
The KMZ file can be opened with WinZip to explore it's contents. And if you really want to delve into this stuff, go ahead and open
doc.kml
with any text editor...that's the KML which is in XML. So, KML is XML and KMZ is a zipped KML.
