I have started to add an Internet link to Place records. I am doing this using Google Maps. To facilitate this, I modified the standard [Google map link](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Map_Service) to ignore any existing GPS in the record and instead to open the link with the KML map (if it exists) and made it an addon.

Just added it to my [Gramps addons](https://github.com/DaveSch-gramps/DES-gramps-addons) on GitHub
