How to Download KML File Format
A file with the KML file format is a Keyhole Markup Language file. KML files are used in mapping applications like Google Earth. The KML file is enclosed in a KMZ file. The KMZ file is an archive similar to a ZIP file. To download the KML file format, first download the compressed KMZ file. Open the KMZ file with Google Earth. The KML file automatically loads and "flies" the viewer to the location specified in the KML file.
