[gdal-dev] GoogleEarth wont read KML files created by ogr2ogr: Unknown element <Schema>

[Frank Warmerdam]

Nikos,

Could you file a ticket, and attach a working and nonworking kml example?

Any idea if this behavior varies across versions of google earth?  I wonder
if libkml can read the file(s) ok.

Best regards,
Frank
