Some KML information cannot be viewed in Google Maps or Mobile. KML shares some of the same structural grammar as GML.

Other data can make the view more specific, such as tilt, heading, altitude, which together define a "camera view". Each place always has a longitude and a latitude. The KML file specifies a set of features (place marks, images, polygons, 3D models, textual descriptions, etc.) for display in Google Earth, Maps and Mobile, or any other geospatial software implementing the KML encoding. Other projects such as Marble have also started to develop KML support. Google Earth was the first program able to view and graphically edit KML files. KML became an international standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium in 2008. It was created by Keyhole, Inc, which was acquired by Google in 2004. KML was developed for use with Google Earth, which was originally named Keyhole Earth Viewer. Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is an XML notation for expressing geographic annotation and visualization within Internet-based, two-dimensional maps and three-dimensional Earth browsers. GPX is being used by dozens of software programs and Web services for GPS data exchange, mapping, and geocaching. GPX has been the de-facto XML standard for lightweight interchange of GPS data since the initial GPX 1.0 release in 2002. The GPX 1.1 schema was released on August 9, 2004. GPX (the GPS Exchange Format) is a light-weight XML data format for the interchange of GPS data (waypoints, routes, and tracks) between applications and Web services on the Internet.
