How i can unzip the KMZ file in my Local System

[SMX]

I have some KMZ files & i don't want to install google earth to see it's content. Is there any way to see the content in those 'kmz' files?

Thx in Advance ;)

change the extention into zip (*.kmz -> *.zip)
then open it with whatever unzipper you've got

I'm curious... what do you hope to find inside the .KMZ? All it is, is a zipped .KML file. KML is just Keyhole's version of XML. Here's a snip of what's inside a KMZ / KML:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Document>
<name>HMS Onyx.kml</name>
<Style id="default+icon=0x307_copy79">
<IconStyle>
<Icon>
<href>root://icons/palette-4.png</href>

Thx in Advance ;)There is no way to see GEarth content inside the KMZ and KML files. These files just tell GEarth where to go - longitude, latitude, altitude, direction, etc.

Go ahead, install Google Earth - you'll be glad you did.

I agree with Appletom on this statement, you should just install it. It's the best tool i've ever found.
