On a Mac, where QGIS uses the Kyngchaos.com GDAL 1.9 Complete framework, or on any platform where QGIS has been compiled against a GDAL build with support for the Google LIBKML driver, you can open .kmz files directly using the open dialog and selecting the All Files (*) option, or simply drag/drop onto QGIS. (Otherwise, you will need to decompress the .kmz ...

QGIS has a plugin called "Photo2Shape" that will convert the geotagged coordinates of the photo into a shapefile.
You can then use the "eVis" plugin to set up hotlinks to the photos themselves, and launch a photo viewer by clicking on the attribute field.

If you convert your 3D KML to collada (.dae) a Google Earth Model - using Google Sketchup
http://sketchup.google.com/download/
Then you can import this MODEL into ArcGIS with ArcScene.
Here is a youtube video showing how this can be done.

ArcGIS can read KML files and since 9.3 also KMZ via the Data Interoperability Extension. From version 10 you must install this separately. The basic version of DI extension does not require a special licence and certainly lets you read GML and (from memory) I think it also reads KML. I have been used to having the full version so I forget where the free ...

So far I came up with this:
I replaced the first 2 lines of the original KML with the following 3 lines:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"
xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2">
Then I replaced the lower case "z" of the Timespan by uppercase "Z", like these:

Recent versions of gdal_translate have support for KML Superoverlay. Although it is not yet documented on the GDAL website the following can be used:
gdal_translate.exe -of KMLSUPEROVERLAY c:\in.tif c:\out.kmz -co FORMAT=JPEG
This will save a tiled version in a kmz file using jpeg compression.
On windows you can automate using
forfiles /m *.tif /c "cmd ...

Those look like the grids for the National Topographic System in Canada.
They can be downloaded from Geogratis as the Vector Indexes of the National Topographic System of Canada.
There is a folder in there called kml_files full of .kmz files.
If you prefer, you can get them more easily by downloading them zipped (15mb) at all scales from the WMS in ...

kmz with imagery (like Garmin Custom Maps) are raster files. So you have to use Add Raster Layer, not Add vector layer. Unfortunately, GDAL only supprts kml as vector layers.
The problem is that the unzipped img files do not have georeferencing information stored by themselves. This is stored in the doc.kml file; but this is not in a format GDAL ...

If you have your placemarks in order in the kmz file, the task will be fairly simple (and can be accomplished in a text editor). Either save the placemarks as a kml file (right click and "Save place as"), or change the file extension of the kmz file to zip and extract the zip file (a kmz file is simply a zipped up kml file(s)).
Here you can open up the kml ...

This has recently been discussed on the Google Earth Help forum.
Apparently this is a bug or a current limitation of Google Earth on iOS platforms. Only workaround at present is to have the KML/KMZ refer to inline images with full URL located on a public web site.
Doesn't matter if embedded image is PNG or JPEG or uses STORED or DEFLATE compression. Google ...

Perhaps newer versions of QGIS will open kmz directly, but for now you need to extract the temp.kml file from the kmz and view that.
Get a zip reading program, I suggest 7 Zip
http://www.7-zip.org
and open the zip file. With 7 Zip it is simply a matter of right clicking on the kmz, 'Open Archive' and drag the temp.kml to the file explorer or desktop (in ...

When constructing a custom KML network link using Manager, the KMZ file is automatically copied to your virtual root directory and is available at http:/// /kml for everyone to access. Simply open this location in a browser to view all the custom KML Network Links for your server.
for ArcGIS 10 Server
Click the Services tab in Manager.
Click KML Network ...

This is how it can be done: (taken from http://gis.stackexchange.com/a/17434/5436)
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'zoom_changed', function() {
zoomLevel = map.getZoom();
if (zoomLevel >= minZoomLevel) {
FTlayer.setMap(map);
} else {
FTlayer.setMap(null);
}
});
