Don’t Forget to Test Different Earth Browsers

Some Earth browsers and mapping applications support a subset of the KML elements described here. This book documents the full KML 2.2 Specification, an Open Geospatial Consortium standard (documented on www.opengeospatial.org). Be sure to test your KML in the Earth browsers and applications that you expect to display it.
