Anyone using KML files?

I haven' tried using KML files in a long time. when I did I thought if you went to a URL like:

(not a real site)

http://mysite.location.kml

It would take you to a google maps page.

But now it seems it just wants to open a file.

Do KML flies still work?
If you browse to one what should happen?

Thanks

Ron

    if i remember properly kml is associated with google earth, not maps

    and it did download a file, or you double clicked it.

    i don't know if that's what your looking for or not, i never used kmls... so i am only referencing what i think i heard, or read some where long ago.

      Thanks Ken,

      I meant to say Google earth. I thought before when I browsed them they would take you to google earth, not open or download a file. I'll check on your info.

  • yes kml files still work but you have to custom design them the auto generated ones on the net for free are crap most are with wrong data so they wont work properly , and for earth it is a KMZ file not KML the kmz file will auto download or open if you have google earth running in the backround and will fly you to your location saved with coordinates in the kmz file.
