+21030 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I can't find the way to have caches shown in Google Earth window. I've heard that it can be done. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Download a GPX file from a cache page, or up to 500 caches in a pocket query GPX file. Then, drop the GPX file in Google Earth. Previously, there was a network KML feature that showed approximate cache locations; this feature is no longer supported. Quote Link to comment
+DeepButi Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 For basic members: you can also drop a LOC file to Google Earth and it works fine. Quote Link to comment
+edhamster Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Any reason that the network KML feature is no longer supported? I really liked it. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Any reason that the network KML feature is no longer supported? I really liked it. It was having a severe negative performance impact on the website - some kind of replacement is in the works according to TPTB. Quote Link to comment
+TheCatMan Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I too found out today the Google Earth Network KML has been disabled. You'd think that if they are going to disable it they would post a note on the front page of geocaching.com so that you would know. This way you waist a lot of time searching to find a fix. I'm uninstalling Google Earth as using the cache locating feature was the only reason that I had it installed. Quote Link to comment

+Team Tux Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It was actually announced about 2 months ago with a site upgrade. So they couldn't fix it in the past 2 months.. That gives me the impression we'll never get it back. Big shame, it was how I searched for caches most of the time. Quote Link to comment
