Exporting to Google Earth

Hi,
Very new to Global Mapper. What I am doing is working with Lowrance GPS Data Capture files to make my own contour maps. I have imported my data into Global Mapper, then exported the file into a Google Earth format (.kml). This worked great.
The issue is that all I want shown on the Google Earth file are the Data Points. What I get are the points and a boxed area that covers over the Google Earth area. Can I get just the data points or at least make the boxed area clear so I can't see it?
I will try to attach the file to show what I am talking about.
Thanks

Did you do the KML export from the File->Export Vector or File->Export Raster or Web Format menu? If you use the File->Export Vector version then you should get a KML file with just your points as selectable vector features and not a filled rectangle of the rendered export.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,

It worked.
Is there anyway to change the line width or line color? -
If you select the lines with the Digitizer Tool and edit them, you can change their drawing style. Any changes should be carried through when you export to a KML/KMZ file.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,
Mike
