    33Google Earth uses tiling and a format called KML. It can be used in two ways: 
    4   * Hierarchies of raster tiles, in be used to describe hierarchies of raster tiles, where the data is in PNG or JPEG format. These should work against any WMS server, the tiles are requested in EPSG:4326. 
    5   * Output vector data directly in KML, optionaly in a hierachical manner. This requires the WMS server to support KML and have the ability to regionate information to tiles. This is currently a custom feature only available in GeoServer 1.7.x.

    7 If you go to the dynamically generated list of demo's, the first point corresponds to the KML (PNG) column and the second one corresponds to KML (Vector). Most users will just want to copy the link from the demo page and share that.

    11   * http://localhost:8080/geowebcache/service/kml/topp:states.jpeg.kml 
    12   * http://localhost:8080/geowebcache/service/kml/topp:states.kml.kmz 
     10  * http://yourserver:8080/geowebcache/service/kml/topp:states.png.kml 
     11  * http://yourserver:8080/geowebcache/service/kml/topp:states.jpeg.kml 
     12  * http://yourserver:8080/geowebcache/service/kml/topp:states.kml.kmz

    1414The name of the layer is in all cases topp:states, whereas the first extension signifies the underlying format. The second extension can either be .kml or .kmz, the latter being an archive format which essentially zips files together for better performance. This generally only makes sense if you are serving vector KML.
