About KMZ
Map of Belarus in KMZ: 192 750 km of roads, 38% green areas — in the WGS 84 coordinate system, units are meters.
Which layers are in the file
This file for the selected area contains:
- Roads
- Water
- Greenery
What the file carries
The KMZ file for Belarus: the whole map comes as a single file, the file is binary — it is opened by a program, not by an editor, layers live inside the file as named entities, OpenStreetMap tags are kept as feature attributes.
File size
The expected size of the KMZ file for Belarus is about 6.3 MB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.

- QGIS (free) — Add Vector Layer, pick the .kmz: GDAL reads the archive directly, no unpacking needed.
Programs that open KMZ
FAQ: KMZ for Belarus
Can I unzip a KMZ file?
Yes, KMZ is a regular ZIP archive. Rename to .zip and extract.
Is KMZ smaller than KML?
Yes, typically 5-10x smaller due to compression.
How do the contents of KMZ differ from KML?
They do not: it is the same document, only compressed. The layers, the tags in ExtendedData, the three-dimensional buildings and the WGS84 coordinates match completely.
Do all programs understand KMZ?
Google Earth, Google My Maps, QGIS and ArcGIS do. If some program only handles KML, rename the file to .zip, unpack it and feed it the doc.kml.
Can KMZ be edited by hand?
Yes: unpack the archive, fix doc.kml in a text editor — it is ordinary XML with styles and coordinates — and pack it back into ZIP, restoring the .kmz extension.
