Open KMZ files with your iOS device! KMZ Loader is designed to open KMZ files, which are compressed KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files. Google Earth can open KML files on its own, however KMZ's will not load properly without being decompressed first. KMZ Loader can decompress a KMZ file into a KML file allowing it to be viewed both in Google Earth and as source code. Any KMZ files imported into KMZ Loader will be stored in My KMZs and can be deleted by simply swiping over it. For more information on KML files: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KML

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CoMapin at none against KMZ Loader's 1. CoMapin also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 25 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). KMZ Loader's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
