Geographical information doesn't necessarily mean flying around your neighbourhood. Sometimes, it's about providing a geographical context for information to be displayed, such as in the example here. The Timoney Group have created this KML giving an overview of trade in South America. Hovering your mouse over each country's placemark allows you to view the exports to the other South American countries for a variety of commodities.
