Geocaching Icons display problems in Google Earth 5.0

G'day All

I have been having problems with displaying the Geocaching icons in Google Earth since upgrading to version 5.0 and I think I have a temporary solution to the problem of the Yellow Pins instead of the Geocaching symbols.

I have found that by making the "Geocaching Network KML" folder in the Places folder list non-expanding it will show the correct symbols. Try the following :-

Right click the folder and select properties. In the properties box, untick - "Allow this folder to expand".

I hope this works for everone. I'd be interested to know.

Cheers

Is this for the GC or the GCA network feed?

since I upgraded to version 5 Google Earth just keeps locking up on me at random. It's probably a Vista problem though.

I had the same problems with it on XP; I went back to the previous version.

The gca feed seems to be normal although the icons have always been a bit random.

It is the GC feed that gives the trouble. I have GE 5.0 loaded on Vista.

Just tried it for the first time in about three years and it was working as normal ie not showing the actual cache location and moving the icons around at random.

The icons were displaying correctly though. Latest GE version on XP.

The GCA feed is much better imo. Doesn't have the nice icons but it does show the actual cache position!
