How do I set output format for KML
Q: How do I set output format for KML?
A:
Google Earth's network link attaches the current BBOX coordinates, so all you really need to do is add a new network link with an valid WMS GetMap request.
1. Open Google Earth
2. Add --> Network Link
Name: Use any name for your network link
Refresh Parameters: View-Based refresh When: After camera stops (4 secs)
Change &Layers=mykmllayer with a coma separate list of layers to display
3. OK
Google Earth will then automatically attach BBOX=x1,y1,x2,y2 to the end of each request.
Obviously there are some requirements, such as the SRS is 4326, and the output format is set to whatever the KML handler is. This works for simple WMS PNG output, but I see no reason why this wouldn't work with direct KML output from GeoServer.

- Width and Height are required parameters. By default I set 800x800
- Format is required by WMS
- Styles is required by WMS (empty)
However, my GE still sending output errors!
