Bug Description
Binary package hint: googleearth-package
GoogleEarth uses the default locale to parse coordinates. This goes wrong if your system's locale - or more specifically the numeric - is set to something that formats numbers different than the US. The workaround is to add an
export LC_NUMERIC=
to the start script.
