About

Google Earth is a free-of-charge virtual globe program. It maps the entire earth by pasting images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS over a 3D globe.

KML is the exchange format used by Google Earth. With KML users can visualize their own data directly within the Google Earth application.

GeoServer supports Google Earth by automatically providing KML as an output format.
