- Description
- A KML (Keyhole Markup Language File) is a plaintext file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth, Google Maps, and MapQuest. KML files specify various geographic information, including points, lines, images, polygons, and models, along with attributes like descriptions, place marks, and camera angles. This format, which is based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language), allows users to not only visualize but also navigate through locations and structures.
- A GPS Database File (.gdb) is a file format used primarily by Garmin GPS devices and software. The .gdb format stores geographic information, including waypoints, routes, tracks, and other navigational data used for mapping and GPS navigation. These files allow users to save and manage their navigation data on Garmin devices or within compatible software, facilitating route planning, tracking, and sharing of geographic information. The GDB format supports various data types, making it versatile for different GPS-related applications.
