KMLZ to Earth

KMLZ to Earth offers a practical solution for viewing KML and KMZ files directly on Android devices via Google Earth. If you encounter difficulties displaying these files or email attachments, this app enhances your viewing capabilities by allowing you to browse and select files locally for a detailed display within Google Earth. Effortlessly explore content and manage image files with location information, creating KMZ files featuring multiple photos by simply tapping the designated options.

Optimizing File Management

While using KMLZ to Earth, managing larger files requires consideration of Google Earth's performance limits, especially for files exceeding 4MB. To enhance load times and ensure successful file display, reducing image size or the number of images when creating KMZ files is advisable. The app intelligently decreases image sizes when presented in Google Earth, maintaining efficient and manageable file sizes. Each image, along with its metadata, is shown as a thumbnail, enabling easy previews and selections for creating composite KMZ files.

File Compatibility and Usability

KMLZ to Earth provides compatibility guidelines to streamline your file management process. Files must end in ".jpg", ".kml", or ".kmz" to be visible and should avoid illegal characters, ensuring smooth operation within the app. Selected files are copied to a specified directory, facilitating easy access and organization. Note that the app can't be set as the default for file actions, preserving user choice and preventing unintended settings. Troubleshoot any issues via provided menu options to manage cache and data effectively.

Running Processes and Notifications

To deliver functionality, KMLZ to Earth operates a local web server to serve pages from its "Home" directory, running a background process that issues notifications for user awareness. Viewing these notifications allows easy app access, with the option to terminate background processes via the back button, offering seamless user control of the app's operations.
