What is a KMZ File Type?

KMZ files are designed to reduce the space occupied by KML files to make them easier to distribute and share with multiple users. KMZ files are commonly used to share visits or placemarks with users by e-mail or when posting them to a web page.

Various programs create KMZ files, but they are mostly created by Google Earth Pro. To create a KMZ file in Google Earth Pro select File → Save → Save Place As, then choose "Kmz " from the drop-down menu.

Location data is provided for the 3D models included in the KMZ files. This is referenced to place the model on the map at a specific location to give an idea of what the building looks like in that area.
