What are KML Files?

KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is a file format for displaying geographic data in Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Maps for smartphones. KML is based on the XML standard and uses a tag-based structure with nested components and attributes.

How do I use a map to import/export a KML file?

A Keyhole Markup Language file is frequently referred to by the file extension KML. KML files are generally used to store geographic data in a common XML format that Google Earth understands. The KML file extension is also used to save emulator keyboard configuration information for a few HP calculators, although these are rare.

Keyhole Markup Language was established by a software business called Keyhole Inc. for use with Keyhole Earth Viewer, which was eventually acquired by Google in 2004 and became Google Earth. The KML file format was created with the intention of storing geographical data and annotations that could be superimposed on maps. Longitude and latitude, as well as place markers, polygon shapes, pictures, and text, are all included in KML files, which can be used to show or designate a specific location or area on a map. Additional data can be saved for use with 3D earth browsing applications. Developers can use KML files to construct unique layers of data that can be layered on existing maps for illustration or abstraction.

The Open Geospatial Consortium has approved the KML format as an open standard for usage in geographical browsers, and it is presently supported by a number of websites and applications, including Google Earth, Google Maps, Geo Measure, KML Converter, Microsoft Virtual Earth, and Geomedia.

KML files can be opened using a variety of tools, including Google Earth and Keyhole PRO, both of which are available for Windows and Mac. 3D modeling software like Blender, an open-source suite of 3D creative tools, and Google Sketchup can open KML files with the necessary plug-ins for use with 3D browsers like Google Earth.
