    Not sure what the interface is like in Google Earth on an iPad, as I have an Android tablet, but this is what I do:
    1. Download the kmz file from ftp://ftp.doc.govt.nz/Public/GIS/KMZ..._GIS_Software/ (if prompted for a user name / password, it is public/public)
    2. Upload same file to my Google Drive account. This is where I am sharing the GPX and Garmin map files from, in my first post in this thread. It must be Google Drive and not One Drive or Dropbox or any other "cloud storage".
    3. Open Google Earth on your tablet. Remember, these screenshots are on an Android tablet, so your interface may be different:
    3a. Select Google Drive:


    3b. Select the file you want to view. Must be .kmz or .kml file extension. Use the three dots I the top right corner to sort by latest files if you can't find your newly uploaded file for some reason. Click on the file name, then choose 'Select'.


    3c. File will load if it's not too big. It will spit an error at you if it fails.


    3d. Done. Kapiti Island Marine Reserve.
