Opening KMZ files

[baarkerlounger]

Probably a feature request (or maybe there's a way to do it already) but it would be great if Nextcloud Maps could open .kmz files exported from Google My Maps.

Yep! @baarkerlounger are you interested in looking into how to do that? :) Even just finding links to libraries or how others do it is a good start!

.kmz are only zipped .kml files. Unzipping them and doing the kml stuff should be enough 😉
For unzipping there are several js libs available :)

How do we open kmz/kml? I tried the import favorites and nav to either type and just get a failed to import message.

before i open a new issue for nothing, kmz import on maps seems to work great (except when trying to import kml/kmz with non-latin characters), so is there another issue that keeps this issue open?

I'm very interested in getting this working as I have a map in my Google Drive I want to move out and into my Nextcloud. What needs to be done to get this working?

I think a feature to import KML files would be quite useful to migrate away from Google Maps.

I used Google Takeout to export some saved places that I have on Google Maps. I then used this script to https://github.com/akvadrako/json2kml to generate a KML from the JSON files that were exported. Now I do not see a way to import the KML file.
