KLM file error

geodesist

I am using a program which creates a KML file for viewing in Google Earth. When I try to import to GM, I get an error message:

error parsing KML file 08054.kml.
Line 1, column 39.
Some data may be missing.

Here are lines 1 through 13:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"&gt;
<Document>
<Style id="BluDot">
<IconStyle>
<color>ffff0000</color>

<scale>0.75</scale>
<Icon>
<href>http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/shaded_dot.png</href&gt;
</Icon>
</IconStyle>
</Style>

column 39 in line 1 would be right after the last character on the line, >

global_mapper

I have seen this before when there is some kind of non-printable garbage character in the file at the specified location. Can you post the actual file or email it to support@globalmapper.com so that I can take a look?

Thanks,
