920xt - KML export not working from Garmin Connect website, but GPX export is ok

Hello Support,

I've been happily using my 920xt for a few months and will upload runs to Garmin Connect pretty regularly, but then also download them into Google Earth once in a while. I'm using the latest software updates on the gps device and the latest Google Earth version for Win8.

ISSUE; I currently have an issue with KML exports for my newer runs - as copied below the 'coordinates' in the KML output are all identical, however the 'line' shown in Google Earth is just a single dot. This example was for a normal 14km run and so I think there is a bug in the export that forces all co-ords the same; https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/800534102 and click KML export to re-create the issue.

THIS SEEMS A NEW ISSUE; The above is definitely new since older activities are not affected;
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/649887975 is also public and the KML export for this run works fine.

IT IS NOT A MODERN ISSUE; The KML export seems the same (broken) in both original Garmin Connect and new UI.

WORKAROUND; Taking the GPX export and running it through http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map?output_googleearth (to convert it to a KML) is my current workaround - the runs then load normally in Google Earth.

Please let me know if this is an issue for anyone else.

Thanks,
Northcapital
