Using KMZ Files in Google Earth


KMZ files are bookmarks for locations in Google Earth (and more). They are quite small and can be sent as attachments to email. They can be generated in Google Earth under File>Email>Placemark and sent from Google Earth. The one corresponding to this image is called Singing Sands Oasis.kmz. Click on it and see what happens. If you have Google Earth, you should find Google Earth opening and taking you to this place on the Earth. (You may have to save it on your computer, then click on it. Or, save it to your computer and then open it from Google Earth. A lot depends on how your security and other defaults are set up.)
