[Qgis-user] Qgis tif to kmz?

[Duarte Carreira]

GE does support image overlays. You can add a georreferenced image to Google earth and then save it as kmz, but you have to georeference the image again in ge. Or you can create a kml by hand, looking up the docs for kml.

Look here for instructions:

So, qgis does not do this work for you but it wouldn't be hard to do. It is just a matter of writing an xml file with the correct tags...

Regards,
Duarte

I thought KMZ supported an image overlay format.
