KML files
Juni 2nd, 2007 by Felix Hardmood BeckHave a closer look here!
KML is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Maps for mobile. KML uses a tag-based structure with nested elements and attributes and is based on the XML standard. All tags are case-sensitive and must be appear exactly as they are listed in the KML 2.1 Reference. The Reference indicates which tags are optional. Within a given element, tags must appear in the order shown in the Reference.

To see the KML “code” for a feature in Google Earth, you can simply right-click the feature in the 3D Viewer of Google Earth and select Copy. Then Paste the contents of the clipboard into any text editor. The visual feature displayed in Google Earth is converted into its KML text equivalent. Be sure to experiment with this feature.
Der Code sieht wiefolgt aus:
<_kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<_Placemark>
<_name>Pilgrimages Geotag
<_description>xxx
<_Point >
<_coordinates>-1.826752,51.179045,0
<_/Point>
