Happy 2013 to everyone!

I send here copy of my message to the gdal list and will keep this
list informed in case gdal-dev suggests a solution

Subject: kml file does not open with ogrinfo but works with GE
To: gdal-dev at lists.osgeo.org


A program (Mission Planner for Ardupilot)
http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/MPTlog
produces kml files
with track information that can be represented with the same program
and GE, but I cannot open them with ogrinfo:
$ ogrinfo test.kml
FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `test.kml' with the following drivers.
$ ogrinfo --version
GDAL 1.9.2, released 2012/10/08

I cannot open it with QGIS or R (readOGR()) either.

Is there a newer kml format that is recognized by GE but not by the OGR library?
Any help with this?
I've uploaded test.kml in case someone could help:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3180464/test.kml

Thanks!
Agus
