Hi Raine, I found this note in the specs itself: http://earth.google.com/kml/kml_tags_21.html#style ...but deprecated does not mean that it is not supported anymore. Strange, but changing the header version from 2.0 to 2.1 fixes this issue and the icons are re-apprearing...

Hi there! I also faced the problem and tried a fix as workaround by fixing the XML file. It seems that changing the header from version 2.0 to 2.1 is enough to bring the icons up again (even though the specification says that the icons are defined deprecated...). To fix it until it is updated at geocaching.com I implemented a small filter proxy which does the dirty conversion job. If you go to your Google Earth client and just replace the KML URL in the properties of the Geocahing link it is working. Original URL: http://api.Groundspeak.com/networkkml/geocache.aspx?key=XYZ Updated URL which enables Icons again: http://www.jensscheffler.de/share/geocaching.php?key=XYZ Jens

Geocaching Kml: New Google Earth Plus Question
jscheffl replied to BlackHelicoptersInc's topic in Website
Hi there! I had the same problem and created a work-around (by implementing a small proxy which resolves the issue). If you go to the preferences of the KML link in Google Earth, just change the URL from "http://api.Groundspeak.com/networkkml/geocache.aspx" to "http://www.jensscheffler.de/share/geocaching.php" at the beginning. This PHP page will forward the call and return a fixed result from the geocaching page. Hope this helps you?
