Interesting Google Earth "bugs"
#1
Whilst working on a recent project I found a couple of things that I "think" may not work exactly as intended...

  1. "Track:" is added to the front of the position List regardless if it already has been prefixed with "Track:"
  2. The description that forms part of the position list is not interpreted correctly.

So for example if the kml includes:
Code:
<Placemark>
  <name>Track: Section 9</name>
  <description><![CDATA[<div style="border:1px solid green;padding:10px;padding-top:0px;width:400px;border-radius:10px;">
    <h3><img src="http://mitupela.net/bushwalking.jpg" style="vertical-align:middle;"/> Canning to Monadnocks</h3>
    <a href="http://bit.ly/qoB2o1">Bibbulmun Track 2011</a> :: <a href="http://bit.ly/znvHcF">Day 6</a>
    <br/><br/>

</div>]]></description>
  <styleUrl>#trackStyle0</styleUrl>
  <LineString>
    <coordinates>
    </coordinates>
  </LineString>

When opened in RC the Position List Name in RC includes the description as well as the name. And when it's saved, because of the 64 character limit in GoogleEarth it's truncated to "d06.kmz/Track: div>"

Now, I don't expect RC to manage the description node of kml files, but it would be nice if it handled them correctly: that is didn't mess with them Wink

Is that possible??
