Convert KML to KMZ: The Must-Know Details

KML to KMZ: Resources

Below, you'll discover a compendium of resources dedicated to the interoperability and exchange of KML and KMZ file formats. These will aid in the smooth conversion from KML to KMZ files.


KML Google Earth KML

The KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file format, which is used in Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, allows for the storage of geographical data. This includes point, line string, and polygon geometry, all in an XML textual format. Our Automapki Application, compatible with AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD, enables a seamless import of KML maps into the DWG model space. This process accurately reproduces every point, line string, polygon, and Collada DAE model geometry from the KML file. Furthermore, Automapki Application provides the ability to export your point, polygon, curve, and image DWG drawing entities to the KML file format.


KMZ Google Earth Placemark KMZ

The KMZ (Google Earth Placemark) file format, designed for use with Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, offers an optimized method for storing geographical data, including point, line string, and polygon geometries. This efficiency is achieved through the use of ZIP file compression, which distinguishes it from the standard KML file format. Our Automapki Application, compatible with AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD, allows for the import of KMZ maps into the DWG model space, accurately recreating every point, line string, polygon, and Collada DAE model geometry from the compressed KMZ file. In addition, our Automapki Application provides the ability to export your point, polygon, curve, and image DWG drawing entities to the compressed KMZ file format.
