Also many companies and organizations have already their data in KML available and there are many KML converters available to transform existing data. Additionally Google Earth is an easy to use interface to create KML data even by non-technical people. "

"As might be expected, members of the Millennial generation are enthusiastic about the technological and communication advances of the past decade.
