About KMZ

Map of Denmark in KMZ: 156 226 km of roads, 10% green areas — in the WGS 84 coordinate system, units are meters.

Which layers are in the file

This file for the selected area contains:

What the file carries

The KMZ file for Denmark: 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 Denmark is about 8.5 MB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.

KMZ file passport

Estimated from the place's OSM data; exact figures are in the file after the build.

  • Layers: 3
  • Road segments Placemark/LineString: ≈ 781 129 (estimated)
  • Road length: 156 226 km
  • Roads by class, km: service 49 525, unclassified 31 996, residential 27 602, tertiary 23 506, cycleway 10 812
  • Area outlines Placemark/Polygon: ≈ 43 437

Losses: no routing graph — 156 226 km of roads are plain lines; not in the file: Buildings 2 235 540, Points of interest 216 486.

Build recipe: KMZ: ZIP with doc.kml (KML 2.2, WGS 84) and PNG icons in files/, frame 485 × 387 km, simplification tolerance 334 m; layer → Folder, feature → Placemark with its style.

How to use KMZ for Denmark

  1. Google Earth Pro (free) — double-click the .kmz and the map opens right away with all its layers.
  2. Google My Maps — Import takes KMZ just like KML: you get a web map with a link.
  3. QGIS (free) — Add Vector Layer, pick the .kmz: GDAL reads the archive directly, no unpacking needed.

FAQ: KMZ for Denmark

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.
