Keyhole Markup Language is similar to the XML format and is used by Google to provide longitude and latitude data for location points consolidated on Google Earth. You can convert your XML file to KML with a map conversion application that is free to download. With this program, you can save your location data as a KML file and submit it to Google or other geography applications.
