Google-Earth 7 coordinates bug solved

[hoos]

Good day,

The "coordinates bug" has come back for non US/EN users (GE displays the wrong location).
Finally I ran into the solution of this infamous GE 7 coordinates bug (Ge displaying a wrong location
when having typed a search query, i.e. New York being at sea).


To solve the coordinates bug:
edit (as root) the script /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth
above the line LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./googleearth-bin "$@" add

export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8


Got this from productforums.google.com

Works like a charm  


             Cheers, Hoos.

Thank you on behalf of my Dad. He will be pleased. He is running a Dutch version and I'm using English. Identical hardware. So I suspected already it was a 'local' problem, but could no figure out where to begin to look.

My pleasure 

Pinoc: it wasn't fixed for languages other than US-EN.

         Cheers, Hoos.
