For some time, I've been using the following kml code to display photos on a hiking track:
<Placemark> <description><![CDATA[ <table width="300"><tr><td> Sud - Pointe du Frejus (à g), le Grand Argentier (à d) </td></tr> <tr><td> Click on photo for enlarged image </td></tr> <tr><td> <a href="http://www.loveluck.net/photos-2015/2015-10-08_Col-de-Chaviere/album/slides/DSCN1258.jpg" target=_blank> <img src='http://www.loveluck.net/photos-2015/2015-10-08_Col-de-Chaviere/album/slides/DSCN1258.jpg' width='341' height='256'> </td></tr> <tr><td>GPS coordinates: <br>long: 6.665855 E lat: 45.239057 N <br>altitude: 2371.89 m </td></tr></table>]]></description> <Snippet/> <styleUrl>#Photo</styleUrl> <Point> <altitudeMode>clampedToGround</altitudeMode> <coordinates>6.665855,45.2390566666667,0</coordinates> </Point> </Placemark> <Placemark>
This puts a marker at the point given by the GPS coordinates, clicking on the marker produces a small image with details of the photo, clicking on the small photo displays a larger image in a separate window. The problem (which only occurred fairly recently) comes when I click on the 'Back to Google Earth' link, which causes Google Earth to crash.
I'm using Google Earth 7.1.5.1557 running on Mac OS X 10.11.4 (El Capitan).
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this code suddenly caused Google Earth to crash in this way?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for pointing me at the Help forum. I did get some helpful advice there, which helped me to find a workaround to my problem: productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/IUrBGKr-2uU;context-place=topicsearchin/maps/category$3Agoogle-earth|sort:relevance|spell:false It does seem that this is a bug in Google Earth on Mac (but not on Windows) which wasn't present in earlier versions.

I'm glad to have helped in a small way at least. Thanks for the follow up.
