KMZ File Type
KMZ files are typically used in geospatial modelling for Google Earth. They are a special type of file that geospatial modelling software, such as ArcGIS or QGIS, can use to share a geographic space with a particular coordinate system. It’s a Google Earth Placemark File (.KMZ) extension that is supported by most 3D modeling apps. It’s an open format and it uses the “EPSG:3857” projection for its coordinate system. There are many use cases of KMZ files such as generating 3D visualisations and providing insights about the world around us.
