Once you have saved the file somewhere easy to find (for example, a project folder or your desktop), you can then copy it to a USB drive, email it, or just store it for future reference. The Save dialog will use the folder name you created, to set up the KMZ filename – in this case, ‘Danes Dyke.kmz’. Right-click on the folder and ‘Save Place As.’ Once in the folder, you can change the Placemarks’ order, edit their Properties as a group, and most importantly, Save the group of Placemarks as a single KMZ file. Now you can drag the Placemarks, one at a time, into the new folder. It should appear below your recently-created Placemarks. Give the folder a sensible name, in this case ‘Danes Dyke’. Right-click on the My Places folder and select Add > Folder from the context menu. Now you have three Placemarks and you want to group them together. ![]() Here we are locating the second Placemark.

We often recommend using Google Earth to confirm the locations of developments such as wind turbines, or other features.
