Sample KMZ file for testing mapping tools — free, CC0

KMZ is KML inside a ZIP archive, the form Google Earth saves by default. By convention the archive's first entry is the main KML document, named doc.kml, and many readers open the first KML entry they find.

kmz/placemarks-10.kmz holds the ten Point placemarks of the KML fixture, deflate-compressed, with doc.kml as the first entry. Because the placemarks match the KML file, you can import both into the same tool and compare: a difference in what it shows points at its ZIP handling rather than at the data.

Use it to test mapping imports, format sniffers that must look inside a ZIP to tell KMZ from other archives, and upload forms that should accept KMZ while refusing arbitrary ZIP files. It is also a small, valid ZIP for archive-handling code that does not need anything bigger. For JSON-based geographic data, see GeoJSON.
