I’m assuming there is a bug fix coming along for kml files to remove the extra whitespace that is upsetting the coordinates in Google Earth these days

The kml files start out like this…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">

<Document>

<name>Therion KML export </name>

<description>Therion KML export.</description>

<Placemark>

…

I’d like to request that the <name> and <description> fields be modified as follows;

For export map,

<name> = cavename (from code tex-map), or ‘Cave Map’ if cavename is undefined.

<description> = mapcomment, or perhaps ‘Therion map compiled <date>’ if there is no mapcomment.

I’m not sure if layouts are used for kml map exports, so not sure if it is possible, but this would allow them to match their pdf etc counterparts.  Using layouts and code tex-map would allow user defined modifications.

For export model,

<name> = unique survey name or ‘Cave Survey Centreline’ if there is no unique survey name.

<description> = ‘Therion survey compiled <date>’ or a better description if someone can think of one.
