So, i want to load a kmz map into my azure map, is that possible ?

If it is, can i grab my N, S, E, W from the kmz file or do i need to have some source to give me that information ?

I can add a photo from my kmz "bundle", but when i try to add from a kmz it won't load.

    There is no support for KMZ files out of the box in the Android SDK. To use KMZ files with the Azure Maps Android SDK you would need to use a separate library that can parse the KMZ file, and then convert that data to GeoJSON, and load the images in separately. I worked on the Spatial IO module for the Azure Maps Web SDK and I'll be honest, it is a lot of work to achieve.

    And what about that geoJson, i think i can convert my KMZ into geoJSON, but what should my geoJson have in order to achieve that? I want to make the ground look like an ortho photo. Sorry if im wrong, but i cant see relation in the kmz and geoJson. Please give me some hint if u can.
