[Qgis-user] Problem Displaying KML Files in QGIS 2.10.1 64-bit Windows 7

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,
Your kml files appear to be GoogleEarth web page links more then actual 
vector layer files.  I can open them in Google Earth (pro that is free 
now).   The bounding box is 3D and does not appear to be usable in Qgis. 
The points are.
When you click on the points in GoogleEarth, they send you to this page:

Hope this helps!
Nicolas
