found it. which could obviously be cleverly modified for batch production
kmz files are zipped kml files ... some backgrounders that are useful
Can I convert a kmz file to kml? - Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange
provides some help and with the aid of python modules:
one can even process things directly, for example
Calculate distance from .kmz files « Python recipes « ActiveState Code
And there are many other examples out there.
You might be right, Chris. The supported formats lists "OpenGIS KML Encoding Standard" although I don't know if that includes all KML, or any KMZ.
I think you can natively with ArcGIS Data Interoperability (ArcGIS Data Interoperability | Overview).
David,
Like Darren said, you will need to convert it.
Use this tool:
KML To Layer—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop
Make edits, then use the opposite tool to change it back:
Layer To KML—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop
There is no way to view KMZ in ArcMap without converting it.
