Kyle,<div><br></div><div>Yes, I just removed the spaces after the commas in the <coordinates> tag and was then able to open one of the kml files in G.E. I suspect that there are m(b)illions? of kmz files in cyberspace that won't meet the 2.2 standard because of this. I am not sure of the most effective solution. In addition to documentation, perhaps we need a conversion tool for legacy 2.1 kml superoverlays. Perhaps getting the 2.2 KML standard to lighten-up a tad would be complicated.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">To conform more closely with the OGC KML 2.2 standard, we've made the parsing of the <coordinates> tag more strict in version 6.1. Spaces must only be used to separate the (longitude,latitude,altitude)
triplets which specify the coordinates of a single point. It is invalid to add spaces between individual coordinates. We understand that previous versions of the client were more lenient, so if your KML files contain spaces beween coordinates in coordinate
triplets, an easy workaround is to remove all whitespace located immediately before or after commas inside a <coordinates> tag.<u></u><u></u></span></i></p>
