Description Bernhard Beschow 2012-07-05 16:49:10 UTC

When opening a timestamped .kml file generated by latest Marble (master), GE doesn't show the track. However, GE will recognize the .kml file if the MultiGeometry tag (around the gx:tracks) is replaced by gx:MultiTrack.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save a track to a .kml file
1.a. Create a route
1.b At "Current Location" -> "Position Tracking" pick "Current Route"
1.c Wait a bit for tracking to generate some track points
1.d Save the current track
2. Open the .kml file in Google Earth
Actual Results:  
Google Earth doesn't show the track

Expected Results:  
The track should be visible in Google Earth

Steps to make the track visible in Google Earth:
1. Replace MultiGeometry by gx:MultiTrack in the .kml file.
2. Reload in Google Earth
3. The track becomes visible
