KML is an XML-based format for storing geographic data and associated content. KML files have either a .kml extension, or a .kmz extension for compressed KML files. Refer to the following web help document, What is KML?, for more information about KML.
Instructions provided describe how to convert shapefiles to a KML file.
Note: Ensure the shapefile is added to the map before running the tool. The tool automatically detects the file available in the map layer.
Note: The tool converts the shapefile to KMZ format, which is a compressed version of the KML file. The KML file can be extracted from the KMZ file using a file extractor, for example WinZip or WinRAR.
