A KML and a KMZ file contains contain geographic information, in example tracks and waypoints. The KML and the KMZ file format is optimal for display and editing in Google Earth, therefore this format is these formats are used here. To upload this information to a GPS the GPS manufacturers software should be used, which might convert the geographic information in a different file format. Garmin in example uses the GPX file format. There is no significant difference between a KMZ file and a KML file. A KMZ file is simply a compressed KML file. Both are equally suitable for display and editing in Google Earth.
