"Export to KML" should read "Export to KMZ" #1544

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a track in MyTracks
2. Export the track to .kml
3. Look at the file in file browser and see .kmz

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When it says "export to KML", it should actually export a KML file, not a KMZ 
file.  I realize that a KMZ is just a zipped version of a KML, but some other 
Google products treat these two file types differently.  For example, Maps 
Engine Lite now allows importing KML files, but it does not support KMZ files.  
So if it is going to export a KMZ file, it should say KMZ, not KML, to avoid 
confusion.  

What version of MyTracks are you using? On what version of Android? On what
phone?
MyTracks 2.0.7
Android 4.4.2
Samsung Galaxy S3

I would go one more and ask that you just include both options, kmz and/or kml.

As in the cited example, if I want to export a MyTracks track to be used in 
Maps Engine (a very common use!), I actually have to go and manually unzip the 
file.  What a pain!

Maps Engine should be able to import kml AND kmz and MyTracks should be able to 
export both. Period.  Common sense.
