 * I’ve noticed that the kml files that this plugin generates do not seem to work
   with google earth on android (no markers or place names displayed). However they
   do work perfectly on the desktop version. I decided to run them through [http://www.kmlvalidator.org](http://www.kmlvalidator.org)
   and that service does not recognise the kml files, so I’m wondering if there 
   is something wrong with the formatting?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for pointing this out. I looked at the validator and corrected the second
   error (missing [@rel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rel/) for atom:link).
   the first error (Detected 2 XML Schema constraint violations.) is not really 
   an error according to [http://kml4earth.appspot.com/kmlBestPractice.html](http://kml4earth.appspot.com/kmlBestPractice.html):
 * “Note that the Galdos Systems KML validator above does not validate KML extensions(
   i.e. gx namespace) so for example this valid KML sample shows 2 errors related
   to gx: namespace.”
 * Please check a kml feed from my current dev site (where fix for missing [@rel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rel/)
   is included) if it works on Android now: e.g. [http://current.mapsmarker.com/wp-content/plugins/leaflet-maps-marker/leaflet-kml.php?marker=379&name=show](http://current.mapsmarker.com/wp-content/plugins/leaflet-maps-marker/leaflet-kml.php?marker=379&name=show)
 * There is also another KML validator at [http://feedvalidator.org/](http://feedvalidator.org/)
   which shows no errors with my plugins KML feeds – so I am not really sure why
   it is not working with Google Earth on Android…
    best,
 * Robert

 * Hmmm, this is interesting. I think this might be a bug in google earth for android,
   but I’m not sure. Surely something like this would have been noticed and fixed
   ages ago?
 * I checked the kml feed from you dev site but it still doesn’t work. I’ve tried
   a few different combinations myself (thank god for owncloud – [http://www.owncloud.org](http://www.owncloud.org))
   but can’t get it to work. The most basic one was:
 * <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    <kml xmlns=”[http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2″&gt](http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2″&gt);
   <Document> <Placemark> <name>Random</name> <Point> <coordinates>8.853193712983327,53.10919982492059,10
   </coordinates> </Point> </Placemark> </Document> </kml>
 * But even that didn’t work? It just says not found.
 * Strange.
 * Do you have an iphone or ipad? Are you able to check if kml files display correctly
   on google earth on either of those?
