Open KML file - Here's how

In this guide, we show you how to open a KML file.

Open KML file

A KML file is a file format that contains various geographical data. The format is therefore used, for example, in programs such as "Google Maps" or "Google Earth" in the form of satellite images with stored routes or waypoints. We show you how to open a KML file:

• To open a KML file, you need one of the programs mentioned above.
• As soon as you have successfully installed one of the programs, such as "Google Earth", you only need to select your KML file with a double click.
• The respective program reads your saved KML file with the geographic information it contains and then opens it (see screenshot). In this way, you can easily pass on different maps to friends and exchange information.

So that you can open useful map material on the go, you will find the Google Earth app for "Android" and "iOS" here.
