Description
An individual KML image resource represents a KML Region or ground overlay document wrapped in a KMZ file. KML Regions are returned for map services that are cached and use one of the following supported coordinate systems:
- All geographic coordinate systems.
 - Coordinate systems with the following IDs:
- 102113
 - 54001
 - 54002
 - 54003
 - 54004
 - 54016
 - 54017
 - 54034
 - 53001
 - 53002
 - 53003
 - 53004
 - 53016
 - 53017
 - 53034
 
 
Ground overlays are created for map services that are not cached or are not in a coordinate system supported for KML Regions. For more information about kml as an output option, see KML support.

| layerDefs |                    Allows you to filter the features of individual layers in the exported map by specifying definition expressions for those layers. Syntax Example  |               
| layers |                    Determines which layers appear on the exported map. There are four ways to specify which layers are shown:

Example usage
The following is a sample request URL used to request a map service that is cached and in a supported projection:
https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/rest/services/WaterTemplate/WaterDistributionNetwork/MapServer/kml/mapImage.kmzThe above URL would be the same for a map service that is not cached or uses an unsupported projection. The difference is that the returned KML document would include a ground overlay.
