It looks like both UI-View and Google earth use WGS84 as the mapping datum. That saves a step, you don't need to convert between datums.

The KMZ files look like they are binary, therefore unless someone has written some software, that is not easily manipulated. The KML files are an HTML like format but cannot be opened with my browser. An attempt to open them took me straight into google earth. I opened the KML file with a simple text editor and the point coordinates are definitely in there. But they are in decimal degree format, so to use them in a UI-View overlay you will need to convert them to degrees, decimal minutes format. And you will need to edit the UI-View overlay file to include the point name, coordinates and the icon designators. If you are using PMap as your map source, you could draw the route in a Precision Mapping CAD file and then load it as a UI-View overlay with MAP > PmapServer 9 Control Panel > Overlays > Load Overlay. This works well for me on a race course overlay for a local relay run over a course of more than one hundred miles. It takes some time to set up in Precision Mapping, but the end result can be well worth the effort.
