To all from Bob S.
( www.picodopp.com )
After looking more closely at the plotting problems with the ( very popular
) GoogleHunt and DoppSite programs, it appears that there is a minor syntax
flaw in the KML messages that these programs generate and provide to
GoogleEarth...
That is the cause of the display problems observed when using GoogleEarth
6.1 to display the results....
I'll fix it in the next few days and update the website with new versions of
the programs... then I'll make an announcement here about the update.
--------------
Sorry about this, it seems odd that 6.0 GE works fine but 6.1 GE does not...
but that clearly is the case. ( I proved it this afternoon with an
experiment... )
Apparently the KML syntax in 6.1 GE is much more strict than 6.0 GE.... the
problem was caused by a single character in the KML message, which had to be
changed from a comma to a space.
---------------
In the meantime ( as was mentioned here before ) you can use the 6.0 GE
version...

Merry Christmas to all...
Bob S.
