Online KMZ viewer
Open KMZ and KML files online, on a real 3D globe.
Terrapoint is a browser-based KMZ viewer built for teams that outgrew desktop Earth software. Upload a layer, keep its styling and attributes, and give everyone the same shared library — nothing to install.
What the viewer does with your KMZ files
Upload KMZ and KML directly
Drop in a .kmz or .kml file and it is unpacked and drawn on the globe with its original styling, folders and attribute data intact.
One organized layer tree
Group layers into folders, toggle them on and off, restyle outlines and fills, and keep the same tree in front of everyone on the team.
3D globe with terrain
Tilt, orbit and drape your layers over real elevation data — the desktop viewer behaviour that browser-based Earth never replaced.
Measure while you review
Length, path, radius and area in feet, miles and acres, plus placemarks, paths and polygons you can draw and export back to KML.
Swap basemaps and imagery
Aerial imagery, street maps, topographic basemaps and a historical imagery timeline, all without losing your layer state.
Share instead of emailing files
Publish a layer once and the whole organization opens the same version, rather than passing KMZ attachments around.
Opening a KMZ file, step by step
- 01Sign in and open the layer library.
- 02Choose Add and upload your .kmz or .kml file, or connect a live GIS service.
- 03Pick a folder and colour so the layer sits alongside your other data.
- 04Click any feature to read its attribute table, then measure, draw or print.
Common questions
- What is the difference between KMZ and KML?
- KML is an XML file describing placemarks, paths and polygons. KMZ is the same file zipped, usually bundling icons and image overlays. Terrapoint reads both.
- Do my files stay private?
- Each layer can stay private to your account or be shared with your organization. Uploads live in your own protected storage, not on a public link.
- Can I export what I draw?
- Yes — placemarks, paths and polygons export back to KML, and any view can be captured as a screenshot or printed map sheet.
