Bug Description
After an update from 4.x to googleearth-
I found out that Google Earth writes bogus coordinates to myplaces.kml (it uses commas instead of points for decimal separators) when the locale is set to de_DE.UTF8, which is the case for me.
I found a workaround on the Google Earth issue tracker [1], which suggests to use LC_NUMERIC=

I can confirm this bug. In my case all gpx files I try to import have bogus coordinates.
My default locale (LC_NUMERIC) setting is nl_NL.UTF-8
When I manually set this in a terminal to 'en_US.UTF-8' and use that to start googleearth it works good.
