KMZ is a xml based file format to add layers (overlays), paths, polygons to a map.

Here is the google tutorial about kml and kmz files:
http://earth.google.com/kml/kml_tut.html

KML files can be opened by google earth.

Now they can be opened using google maps as well.

Simply enter the URL of your KML file into the Google Maps search box and check out your custom map, like the Discovery channel's National Parks tour:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://dsc.discovery.com/utilities/googleearth/nationalparks/nationalparks.kml

It would be nice to have an option to generate a kml file from Digikam albums.
This kml file would contain a mark for each geolocalized picture in the database.

It would be even greter to have a new "Location" tab on the left of Digikam : Albums, Dates, Tags, Location ...

This tab would contain a konqueror "window" which consist in the rendering of the kml file corresponding to the digikam database.

This way we could not only locate one picture but several.
