On my website, I have created a link on my kmz file.
<a href="démo_GE.kmz">clic here to see in google earth</a>

But when my client clic on the link, it proposes to unzip the file instead of oppening directly google earth.

Could you please help me to make my links goods?

Right click on the file and then choose open with. Search Google Earth in the list and assign it to kmz. That's it.
KMZ is nothing but a zipped kml-file and some more, e.g. pictures....

Hey there Capt. right clicking works but visiters to the web page may not know to right click. What do think about unzipping the kmz to a directory or placeing google on the web server and placeing it in the google directory and then linking to it. Just a thought.

Now you got me thinking. I will play with it.

I am very sorry but the problem certainly comes from MY link.
Because when the same client goes on an other website and downloads a ".kmz" file, it opens it directly in Google Earth.
In the source code, we have the same expression. (href...)

It must has a difference between their and mine, I do not understand which ?
