Google E and GeocachingNetworkKml

Post by stickler » 17 March 07 3:35 pm

Having an issue with latest version of Google Earth 4.0.2737 and the Kml. Fetch errors. Is it me or just the latest version of Google that is giving grief? Thanks.

The geocaching.com or the geocaching.com.au kml?

The latest version of GE is happy with the gca kml. You could try that and see if it eliminates your copy of GE. I don't know what the gc.com one does with it, I don't see much sense in one that guesses about the cache location.

I just upgraded my GE to the new version and now it too does not work with the GC feed

Try the GCA feed in the mean time (+ it has more caches (and better icons) (and doesn't require a premium membership)(and allows more than 200 moves) etc etc :lol:)

Hmmm, you're right.... We'll look at that and see what the fault is... obviously Google have changed something quite fundamental!

EDIT: GCA feed does work..... don't know why it wasn;t..... I shut down GE, clicked on the GCA kml link and all was good
