13.4.1 Creating GPR Project (GPZ) and Google Earth (KMZ) files

Individual data files created in Survey & Map mode are saved in Line (13.1.1: p.75) and Grid
(13.1.2: p.76) project folders.
The "Create GPZ/KMZ Files" option allows the user to save the data in Line and Grid project
folders to GPR Project (GPZ) files and, if a GPS was attached to the GPR system (9: p.44),
Google Earth (KMZ) files.
GPR Project (GPZ) files are files generated by compressing all the GPR data and support files in
a line or grid folder into a single file with the same name as the line or grid folder, for example,
Project0.GPZ or Grid7.GPZ. GPZ files are used by Sensors & Software data analysis software
like EKKO_Interp and EKKO_Project.
Google Earth (KMZ) are files that use GPS information to show, on the Google Earth PC
software, where a GPR data were collected (Figure 13-14).
Figure: 13-14 Google Earth (KMZ) files display where the GPR data lines were collected as well as Fiducial markers.
