 Luis,
    I am assuming that you were generating the KML or KMZ files in the IDV, and 
try to load these files into the Google Earth. If so, before generating the 
KML/KMZ, you need to select Projections > Use Displayed Area, the reason is 
that Google only take the lat/lon projection image, and output from the IDV may 
not in this projection. By clicking the Projections > Use Displayed Area, you 
remap the output to lat/lon projection. Give it a try.
