  • W.E. Jonk: As far as I know the geo tag for Sitemaps was dropped in 2012. So Google doesn't support a "geo Sitemap". The KML files (URL's) can still be in your Sitemap.

  • Ehtesham Shaikh: Thanks for you response and referral link +W.E. Jonk, Since, KML sitemaps are included in Geo sitemaps and then geo sitemaps are submitted in GWT. Now when Geo sitemaps are extinct, I want to know how to implement KML sitemap into standard sitemap.xml in website or any other way to use it.
