Convert KMZ to GPS Online: A Step-by-Step Guide

KMZ is a popular format for sharing map data in Google Earth, containing geographic information and annotations like waypoints, paths, and polygons.

What is KMZ?

KMZ is a compressed version of a KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file, used to store geographic data for display in applications like Google Earth. It contains location-based information, such as points, lines, and polygons, along with additional elements like images or 3D models. The KMZ format keeps everything in a single, compact file, making it easy to share or upload geographic data with multimedia elements.
