The KML module allows location-enabled information from your site to be viewed in Google Earth. It requires the Location module to associate geographic coordinates with a node.

You can:

  • View the location of a single node by clicking a 'KML' link on any location-enabled node.
  • View a collection of nodes either as a normal KML file or as a Network Link which will regularly refresh the data from your site in Google Earth. Collections of nodes include those assigned a certain taxonomy term, results of a search, those in a group or those returned by a view (Views module support In Drupal 5 and 6 only).

Comments

You could also use Views Bonus Pack

There's a patch for Views Bonus Pack which allows exporting KML feeds of location data too.
