KML not correct/incompatible with google Earth #1520

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.record a track
2.export/sync to google drive
3.load into Google Earth

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I`d like to see a line depicting my path in space, over the ground.
Instead track contains series of vertices, ignored by google earth, only pins 
for start and end of track.

Problem I see at a first glance:
In the example from 
https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#gxtrack
gx:track is a bunch of <when> followed by bunch of <gx:coord>
 <gx:Track>
      <when>2010-05-28T02:02:09Z</when>
      <when>2010-05-28T02:02:35Z</when>
      <when>2010-05-28T02:02:44Z</when>
      <when>2010-05-28T02:02:53Z</when>
      <when>2010-05-28T02:02:54Z</when>
      <when>2010-05-28T02:02:55Z</when>
      <when>2010-05-28T02:02:56Z</when>
      <gx:coord>-122.207881 37.371915 156.000000</gx:coord>
      <gx:coord>-122.205712 37.373288 152.000000</gx:coord>
      <gx:coord>-122.204678 37.373939 147.000000</gx:coord>
      <gx:coord>-122.203572 37.374630 142.199997</gx:coord>
      <gx:coord>-122.203451 37.374706 141.800003</gx:coord>
      <gx:coord>-122.203329 37.374780 141.199997</gx:coord>
      <gx:coord>-122.203207 37.374857 140.199997</gx:coord>
    </gx:Track>

But in MyTracks exported kml these elements are interlaced like this:
...
<gx:interpolate>1</gx:interpolate>
<gx:Track>
<when>2014-05-25T09:23:38.480Z</when>

Putting them as per documentation example solves the issue.

Which version of Google Earth are you using.
Based on the kml spec, interlaced should also work.

I can confirm that the Google Earth Android app can't read the exported files. 
As a consequence playing back the path doesn't work.

Google Earth on Windows 7 is able to read the exported KMZ files. Google Earth 
on Android version 8.0.1.2311 can't (latest version according to Play Store).
