Google Earth/Basecamp  .kmz file association

The default application for .kmz files is currently basecamp.I want to change this to Google Earth. When I go to 'open with' I can open with Google Earth OK. However when I go to 'Get info' ,'open with' and 'change all' it reverts to Basecamp. Any suggestions why this might be so. I don't have this problem changing other file associations.

Click on any .kmz file in Finder. Right click on the file and choose > Get Info. Go to "Open With" and select Google Earth. Then click "Change All" so every file afterwards opens with GE.

  • Google Earth 6.2 kmz files have no details in text box

    updated to 6.2  and ios5 I have custom map kmz files that work in PC but when opening the icon in iPad.... the text box is empty. any help is appreciated
    Thanks  Christopher

    It sounds like you are describing the same thing that this person is on Google Groups posted about -> New problem - Google Earth Pro maps uploaded into My Places no longer display in Google Earth on Ipad - Google Groups
    I don't see a fix there, so you may have to wait for Google to update the app. You may want to leave feedback there too.
    (EDIT: It looks like that post is old, but you'll probably have better luck fixing Google app problems there)

  • KMZ (Google Earth) files on iWeb site

    I use MotionX GPS to record tracks of our trips.
    I then email the track to myself. This results in an attached KMZ file.
    Launching the file launches Google Earth and the track is nicely displayed with the start and finish pins at the top and bottom of the window.
    I would like to add the tracks to my iWeb blog, so that a visitor could select a track and GE would launch (in another window, if need be) and display the track.
    Does anyone (Old Toad maybe?) know how to do this in iWeb?
    Thanks, HNick

    OK. I think I got it so far. I got the GE plug-in (really the API, right?). Got my magic ID number (long). I now have GE in iWeb.
    there are two parts, the ifr part is web gadget and an api for embed kml link to the gadget.
    What I don't understand is how to get the KMZ files (one for each trip - 6 of them so far) into iWeb, so that they can be opened in GE.
    first, upload your kmz files to your web host.
    It looks like Cyclosaurus' example uses the track as part of the GE api - in my case that would be a separate instance (?) of GE for each track?
    that's correct, go to my GE example here: http://goo.gl/w307f
    copy the url (it's a long url) and paste it in text editor.
    search for &upkmlurl= , you'll see it points to my kmz file on my site, replace my url with an absolute url points to one of your kml file.
    also search for &title= and replace what after that with a title for your track.
    end product is your GE URL to view in a browser. - long url -
    back to your iweb project, add an html snippet; copy + paste the following:
    <iframe src="put your GE URL here - the long url " frameborder="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
    in iweb this will display as google map because iweb does not have support for GE plug-in, this also is true for browser that does not support GE plug-in such as ie. that's the fall back mode.
    repeat the process for the other KMZ.

  • How to get KMZ (Google Earth) files into FCPX.

    What do I have to do to get Google Earth KMZ files into FCPX? Hopefully I can convert these files easily. I don't see any other file type options given by Google.
    Thank You,
    Craig

    One simple way would be to get Google Earth displaying its videos and then use QT Player's "New Screen Recording" facility.

  • Is it possible to create a google earth kml or kmz file with photos from aperture?

    It is possible to obtain a plugin for Lightroom that will create a single google earth file that includes all geo tagged photos on a track viewable in google earth.  Does anyone know if this is possible from within Aperture?

    Frank,
    Thanks for your quick post. My question involves the zipping up together a batch of geotagged photos along with the track, not necessarily the procedure for importing tracks; I am already familiar with that.  I would like to do this from within Aperture.  Since the first posting this morning I have downloaded Picasa for the Mac.  I know I can do what I want with that software.  Thanks again.

  • Can I attach a (google earth) file, and oppen with dps?

    Hi
    In ipad mail or safari I can view and open different file formats attached, as kmz in google earth, with "open in"…
    Can I open google earth file (kmz) in ipad (with google earth app installed) with any html dps trick?
    I tried with "HTMLResources/file.kmz" and don't work…
    Thanks,
    m

    You might want to try having a hyperlink in your document that links to a web location that has the .kmz file located. Make the hyperlink open up in Safari, and you should be good there.
    Does that work?

  • Is it possible to import and display/plot (Google Earth) KML files as overlays in Mac OS 10.9 Maps application?

    Is it possible to import and display/plot (Google Earth) KVM files as overlays in Mac OS 10.9 Maps application?
    Here is the particular application: (note I haven't gotten the code to compile yet -- seems to be several differently named environment variables in Mac unix than in Linux that are making the compile blow up -- but that's another issue) there is a freeware application that can do radio path loss prediction and plot path loss contours on a map. It has an option to output the data as KML files which can be imported into Google Earth, in order to display the path loss contours on Google Earth maps. I guess you could liken it to displaying overlays of GIS-like data in Google Earth. I would like to know if there is a mechanism to facilitate importing KML data files to overlay (preferably in a translucent fasion so that you could see the underlying map) onto Mac OS 10.9 Maps?

    As I stated, "possibly."
    While the commerce side of it has little to do with the KML files, per se, the API for the layer data should allow for any type of overlay.
    Also, the patent was filed Dec 19, 2013. There was a related patent filed in 2012. Not sure what it is about.

  • How do you plot a path using a .kml file in an embedded google earth in Labview?

    Over the last few days I have been reading all the google earth and lv postings that I can find and I have downloaded a variety of vis and examples that people have posted. I haven't been able to find or figure out a way to display a .kml file that I am creating based on a path of lat and long values in an embedded google earth map in labview.  I was hoping to have the user select a portion of the path on a x,y lv graph and then use those cursor coordinates to create a kml file of the lat and long values of that selected path (I have already completed this portion of the code) and display that alongside in a google earth map.  All the examples I have found show how to display a point in the embedded GE map - does anyone know how to display a number of points along a path?
    Thanks so much!

    Hi,
    I have found an example thatprogramatically creates and modifies a .kml file with pushpin information:

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

    Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
    When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
    File Format Error
    This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
    I get this message regardless of the following:
    - ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
    - ps is open and i double click the kmz
    - ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
    - ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
    I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
    Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
    Thanks.
    - Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
    - Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
    - OS 10.6.8

    I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
    I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
    Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
    So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
    Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

  • Error opening KMZ files Photoshop CS3 Extended for Windows

    I just installed PS CS3 Extended and tried to open a Google KMZ file and received the following error: "Could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file" I also tried creating a new document and insert a new layer from 3D file and received this error:
    "could not complete the new layer from 3d file command because of program error"
    My system is an HP Mobile Workstation w/Intel Centrino Dou proc., Nvidia Quadro FX 1600M running in Windows XP Professional
    Any suggestions!

    I have Google Earth pro ver. 4.3 along with Sketch up Pro ver. 6.4
    Youre correct, I can open KMZ files exported from Sketch up which works fine. But it will not open a KMZ file created from Google Earth.
    Hey Richard, when you get a chance, please upload a simple cube or object from Sketch up to GE . Then right click the model under the Temporary Places folder in the sidebar. Chose save place as then KMZ. Now see if you can open it from PS. Please let me know. Thanks, Pat

  • KMZ file embed in PDF

    Is there a way to embed a KMZ file into a PDF?  I'm not looking for screen shots but actually being able to utilize the KMZ inside the PDF.  I'm trying to embed a file from Google Earth into a PDF.

    Have you tried using attachments?
    This is for Acrobat XI, Windows:
    View - Show/Hide - Navigation Panes - Attachments.
    In the Attachments Pane click on the paper clip icon to add a file. You can also add files by dragging them to the Attachments Pane.

  • Prime Infrastructure - Google earth maps integration question

    Hello All,
    I am in doubt about a specific statement found in the P.I configuration guide:
    Adding an AP to Google Earth map without having the AP associated on a standard map, you do not see
    any heatmap when you view the AP in Google Earth.
    So, just to understand, its not just enough to import a kml with the access point information to P.I?
    IF not, then do i have just to add the access point in any standard map (could even be an irrelevant map to the actual kml map?)
    Can somebody please clarify and provide some tips?!!
    Thanks in advance

    The point is , the AP which is being added into google maps , should also be a part of any standard map. Standard Map will show the areas ( so that you can see and understand heat maps) , however, they don't actually give the presence of the area in global map ( in terms of geographical coordinates). Kml file is data of coordinates, it is not the actual MAP.

  • Google earth won't associate with web link

    I hope someone out there has a simple solution.
    I am trying to open the attached web page in google earth. http://www.stcatherines.co.uk/index.php/download_file/view/1202/1162/439/
    I have previously been able to open the link by using the GE icon in the open with drop down box, but that has now disappeared.
    Can anyone tell me how to get it back or any solution to the problem of opening a file or web page in google earth.
    Many thanks

    Hi ..
    Delete the currently installed Google Earth app and the Chrome browser.
    Don't just drag the apps to the Trash because that won't delete all the app's associated files.
    Instructions here > How To Completely Uninstall Software under Mac OS X
    Then restart your Mac then re download Google Earth and Chrome Browser.

  • Inserting Google Earth video

    Hello,
    I've downloaded the trial version of Google Earth Pro and created a couple of "tours", movements from locations with Google Eath imagery which I might like to use in a film. The Google Earth Pro information says their service, when licence is purchased, is designed to be used in films, yet I can not see how that would work. The files the "tours" create are .KMZ and are tiny. In short they are not the kind of data filled files that one could conceive of importing into FC. Does anyone know how this Google Earth service might work? Are there any on-line resources I could turn to? So far I've not been able to locate any.
    Thanks.

    Google also have a Pro version that you get to pay money for so you can use all the maps with all the zooming in and stuff. They even give you an option to convert it to an FCP comptible codec.
    I just ask one of my English mates thats a wizzkid on Windows and he nicks it all off Bing for me. 

  • Google earth keeps crashing at start up.

    My google earth keeps crashing at start up. I don't know what the problem is and I don't know how to delete all of my old kmz files. Ive tried deleting and re-installing and it still brings up my old files.
    Help please?

    I had what sounds like the same problem - my habit is to install software from an Admin account that I only use for that, and work in a different Standard account, but apparently the Google installer didn't set file owner/permissions right to accomodate that (not the first time I've run into this).
    I promoted my usual user account to Admin, re-installed from that account, demoted back to Standard, and now all is fine. Performance is good, limited only as far as I can tell by my cable modem and/or Airport bit rate.
