A KML file stores geo-modeling data in XML format. It contains dots, lines and images. Use XML to express geographic annotation and visualization by storing locations, overlaying images, video links, and modeling information such as lines, shapes, 3D images, and points. Various geospatial software solutions use the KML format to place data in a format that other programs and web services can easily use.
