View in Google Earth Fails

[stoholmerne]

For this TB http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.as...9f-4f4cde9b57c5

I get an error message when using View in Google Earth.

The error message is "Geocaching KML Error" and I "end up" in Seattle.

What might be the problem?

Definitely a web site problem, not a Google Earth one. Look at the KML:

 

$ cat 1ee9c11c-1ca2-40f0-8f9f-4f4cde9b57c5.kml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">

<Folder><Placemark><name>Geocaching KML Error</name><description><![CDATA[Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types.

i get a problem i didnt with my old computer

but my new one is vista and it isnt working

The KML for the cache in question has changed for the better. It is no longer the error text cited above. It uses an odd mixutre of KML styles, but it's now not broken. I've confirmed that Earth 4.3 successfully loads it.

 

So whatever Whitelaw is seeing, it's a different problem than the one mentioned in the OP.

I also reported the error to Groundspeak, and it has been corrected.

... well, it seemed to have be corrected, but actually, it has not been corrected yet. I have received information from Groundspeak, that they have acknowledged the problem.
