    5353=== Why KML generator needs raster files with EPSG:4326 projection? ===
    5454
    55 Google Earth expect raster tiles in this projection. You can use gdalwarp utility from GDAL (or FWTools) to warp your existing rasters into EPSG:4326. If you are sure, that your raster internally use correct coordinates, but gdal2tiles.py does not generate KML files, then use --forcekml parameter.

    5757File with name doc.kml is generated always. It is for local computer usage and for KMZ. If you would like to generate Google Earth KML Superoverlay for distributing online, then specify -publishurl parameter and another kml file (with the file name same like output_dir) is generated. This KML file you can send by email or publicly linked, it should contain correct url for published tiles.
