Geographic overview

Your map begins here

Open a KML/KMZ file to place features on the map, or try a curated example.

03 / FEATURE INSPECTOR

Feature details

Choose a placemark on the map or in the left-hand list to inspect its properties, geometry, coordinates and measurements.
04 / EXPORT & REPORT

Take your data further

Export parsed features in common formats. Filtering affects the visible-only export, not your original source file.

Files are processed locally. Online basemap tiles are optional and contact OpenStreetMap servers when enabled.

MORE THAN A FILE PREVIEW

Inspect the geometry. Understand the geography.

⌖

Browse every placemark

Search names, folders and descriptions. Toggle datasets, inspect coordinates and locate individual features.

⬡

Measure paths and areas

Review approximate geodesic lengths and polygon areas in WGS84 coordinates, including interior rings.

⇩

Extract and reuse data

Download full or filtered GeoJSON, CSV summaries and a JSON report. No uploads, login or server conversion.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tool upload my KML/KMZ files?

No. KML and KMZ contents are read within the browser. Online basemap tiles are disabled by default; enabling them requests map images from OpenStreetMap and exposes normal request metadata such as IP address.

What KML geometry is supported?

Point, LineString, Polygon (outer boundaries and holes), MultiGeometry, gx:Track and gx:MultiTrack are supported. Placemark names, descriptions, folders, visibility, timestamps, and common styles/ExtendedData are inspected. GroundOverlays, 3D models and external NetworkLinks are not rendered.

Why does my map appear without streets?

The offline grid works even without a network connection. Turn on Online basemap to request OpenStreetMap raster tiles; this requires internet access and remains subject to the tile provider's service terms.

Are measurements survey accurate?

No. Lengths use great-circle distances and areas are approximate spherical calculations. Elevation is not included in these measurements; the viewer is intended for exploratory inspection, not cadastral or engineering surveying.

Using KML/KMZ Explorer

Inspect supported local KML and KMZ features on a local coordinate map, review selected geometry and export parsed data without automatically fetching linked resources.

Workflow

  1. Open a KML or KMZ and choose documents or features to inspect
  2. review point, line, polygon or track geometry and descriptions on the local map
  3. export selected or complete parsed features as GeoJSON, CSV or JSON.

Example

Open a KMZ containing a track, inspect its geometry on the local grid, then export selected features and review coordinates before sharing.

Limits and data handling

This is a bounded KML subset, not full KML 2.2 or survey-grade measurement. External NetworkLinks, images, overlays and models are not followed. OpenStreetMap tiles contact external servers only after explicit opt-in; the default map is local. Coordinate exports may reveal sensitive locations. KMZ resource and decompression behavior is bounded.

FAQs

Does the explorer automatically load linked map resources?

No. External NetworkLinks and linked assets are not fetched automatically.

Does the local map use online tiles by default?

No. The default view is local; online tiles require an explicit opt-in and contact external servers.
