You don't have it listed in the File Upload Center, though. Won't allow it.

In the meantime:

Unzip and drop the KMZ file into Google Earth.

I though I was clear when I said they were Google Earth placemarks, but the long version:
KMZ are compressed KML files. KML files are Keyhole Markup Language files used to express geographic annotation and visualization on 2D & 3D earth browsers. The format was developed by Google.

KML files can contain; placemarks, images, information text, coordinates, 3D models, etc for use in Google Earth.

Though most KML files are shared as KMZ files (i.e. compressed), Google Earth recognizes both files and there is no need for the user to uncompress them.

You can find Google Earth here for free:
http://earth.google.com/

Unzip and drop the KMZ file into Google Earth.

Something got lost, maybe with the double compression when you zipped the KMZ file, I tried it and it first came out with no extension.

It can be attached to a post, the files are so small that I just set them up as attachments not as valid File Upload Center files.


What are the coordinates for the Jacuzzi?

My placemark is right on the Jacuzzi for you!

PS. You need Google Earth (http://earth.google.com/) in order to use KML/KMZ files, they don't work at the website http://maps.google.com. Just install Google Earth, download the kmz file and save it somewhere, then double click it.

HERE IT IS

GO TO http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=us&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=108798247383183863776.0000011267fb29c9132c3

it is a map someone created of bb's

it is a google earth image with all of the street names on it also

on the left where you see CALLE which means street in Spanish, slide 1/4 way down until you find CALLE ENRIQUILLO and click on it and it will highlight the street BB's is on. when you see the white arrow it point almost right in front of BB's. Then my advice is to use your own google earth and put costambar in the search window and use the map to make your own references. Oh yeah, on the top right click on satellite and zoom in. CLICK ON THE CALLE ENRIQUILLO OR SATELLITE A SECOND TIME IF NEED BE, then zoom in.

ENJOY.
