Here are a number of useful KML resources for Google Earth with data and supplemental layers. Many have been reported and shared by users in the Google Earth Help Forum or Google Earth Community (GEC) Forum. Can QGIS combine multiple vector layers (added as KML files)? I know that you can combine shape files, but to do this, vector files need to be translated into shape, and again, you need to translate each layer separately. Use this page make referencing your KML or KMZ content easy, for this to work the file needs to be hosted online somewhere. You can use this page to simply generate a network link, with the added benefit that the URL is shortened! if the content will never change you can use the Redirect option and still take advantage of the short link Loading a KML or KMZ file via NetworkLink in Google Earth for web requires that the file be publicly accessible on the internet, AND it requires that the host server send appropriate CORS headers with the file, allowing the Earth client code to load the file. While we're working to expand KML support, this guide outlines the current import limits. Only KML and KMZ files are supported at this time. Unzipped KML and KMZ files can be up to 1GB. A single import is limited to 10,000 features. Projects are limited to 20,000 features total. The maximum number of vertices allowed in a single import is 250,000. KML is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth. KML uses a tag-based structure with nested elements and attributes and is based on the XML standard. All tags are case-sensitive and must appear exactly as they are listed in the KML Reference. The Reference indicates which tags are optional. The "Export to KML/KMZ" dialog you are showing is for exporting from MyMaps, and if you select "keep data up to date ", it will give you a KML file containing a NetworkLink to the KML output of your MyMap. If you view that KML file in another KML viewer such as Google Earth, any

edits you make in the MyMap will show up in Google Earth. I had close to 100,000 KML files that just contained names, descriptions, polygons and points of different locations, that I have combined into one large KML file. I'm now just trying to create a network link to this KML file from Google Earth that will only load this information for the places within the bounding box of the screen. There isn't a permanent way to store kml files in Google Earth web. Original Poster Travis 5310 marked this as an answer. 4 More comments. W. Win Scott. Apr 26, 2024. I am encountering the same issue with "Network Error" when trying to upload a KML file from Google Drive into my Google Earth web. The KML project was created on Google Earth web To open local KML files in Google Earth: On your computer, open Google Earth. At the top left, click New Open local KML file. Select the KML file you want to open. After you select the file you want to open, it'll automatically save to your local KML files. Tips: You can open local KML files in Google Earth even if you're not signed in.
