Features & Capabilities

Open KMZ files with your iOS device!

KMZ Loader is designed to open KMZ files, which are compressed KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files. Google Earth can open KML files on its own, however KMZ's will not load properly without being decompressed first.

KMZ Loader can decompress a KMZ file into a KML file allowing it to be viewed both in Google Earth and as source code.

Any KMZ files imported into KMZ Loader will be stored in My KMZs and can be deleted by simply swiping over it.

User Reviews

KMZ Loader is praised when it works: it can overlay KMZ maps in real time, is useful for fieldwork to locate pre-calculated positions, and can generate KMZs from AutoCAD for on-site reference, earning its reputation as one of the best KMZ apps. But many reviews say it stopped functioning after iOS updates and needs compatibility updates; users also report KMZs won't open, the Open KMZ button doesn't respond, or demos won't load. Overall reliability is inconsistent across iOS versions, so ongoing maintenance is essential for it to stay useful.

Pros

Real-time KMZ map overlay for fieldwork.
Extremely useful for locating pre-calculated positions.
Can generate KMZs from AutoCAD for on-site reference.
Widely regarded as the best KMZ app in the store.

Cons

Stops functioning after iOS updates; requires compatibility updates.
KMZ files won't open or load; Open KMZ button doesn't respond.
Demos won't open; app fails to load its own demos.
Reliability is inconsistent across iOS versions.

Recent reviews

This does nothing but take up space. There is no instruction nor does it work at all. Why would you put an app on the store that has zero function. Seriously. What a joke.

I needed to overlay KMZ maps of fossil exposures in my area so i could see in real time where i was in relation to the exposures. This app handles it flawlessly and i am blown away.
