What's KML

Google Earth is a geographic browser -- a powerful tool for viewing, creating and sharing interactive files containing highly visual location-specific information. We call these files KMLs (for Keyhole Markup Language): what HTML is to regular Internet browsers, KML is to geographic browsers. You can open KML files in both Google Earth and Google Maps, as well as in many other geographic browsers. This KML Gallery contains some interesting examples of KMLs that organizations, communities, and users just like you have created using both Google Earth and the "Create a map" feature in Google Maps.

Check back here each week for new content, add the KML Gallery Gadget to your iGoogle page, or find even more things to explore in the Google Earth Community. You can also submit your own KML to be considered for inclusion in the Gallery.
