Keyhole Markup Language File
A file format developed by Keyhole, Inc. (later acquired by Google), that enables you to store and share geographical data with Google Earth, Google Earth Pro, and other geospatial software.
Key Features of KML
- XML Format: KML files use XML to store points, line strings, polygons, and Collada DAE models, which can be easily edited and customized.
- Interoperability: KML files can be viewed and manipulated by various applications and software, such as Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, QGIS, and more.
- Embedded Media: Users can embed images, videos, and links within KML placemarks and descriptions to enhance geographical presentations.
KML File Conversion
Our Automapki Application supports importing and exporting KML files and is fully compatible with AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD. With this tool, you can seamlessly convert DWG entities - including points, polygons, curves, meshes, 3D solids, and raster images - to KML format, as well as transform KML data back into DWG entities.
Google Earth Placemark File
A compressed file format that bundles KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files along with their associated resources - such as images, textures, 3D models, and overlays - into a single, smaller archive. Designed for efficient storage and sharing, KMZ files are natively supported by Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, making them ideal for distributing complex geospatial projects.
Advantages and Features
- ZIP Compression: Using standard ZIP compression, this format significantly reduces file size and bandwidth usage compared to uncompressed KML, enabling faster transfers and more efficient storage.
- Geometrical Support: The KMZ format accommodates diverse geospatial elements, including points, line strings, polygons, and 3D models (Collada DAE), allowing for rich representation of real-world features.
- Compatibility: Widely supported across platforms, the KMZ file format works seamlessly with major geospatial tools like Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, and QGIS, ensuring easy sharing and editing.
KMZ File Converter
Our Automapki Application enables seamless KMZ file import and export in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD. It allows you to convert DWG entities - such as points, lines, polygons, 3D solids, and raster images - into KMZ format for use in Google Earth. With full two-way conversion capabilities, Automapki add-on ensures smooth data exchange between these formats.
