Creates a file in kmz format that can be opened into Google Earth.
GEplot uses the same syntax as the traditional plot function but requires Latitude and Longitude (WGS84) instead of x and y.
GEplotLabelsDesc adds 2 additional arguments with point Labels and Description, so you can add text and values to your graphical object. (see picture of Hurricane Maria trajectory).
% Example:
% GEplotLabelsDesc('my_track',Lat,Lon,names,descs,'o-r','MarkerSize',10,'LineWidth',3)
% GEplotLabelsDesc('my_track',Lat,Lon)

% Lon= [-69.29681667 -69.29685];

% desc ={'This is an interesting point', 'This is another point'};
