Thanks, Mcshea98, the path resulting from your manipulations does look nice. It looks just like I'd like it to.
But, I don't want to have to go through all the manipulations you went through, every time I have a track log to import into GE. And I'm a computer professional. I'd hate to ask normal joes to do all that work. Besides, from the Points and Path branches created by the curr. ver. of GE, I'd expect GE is able to do it in one fell swoop, once this altitude bug gets squashed.
Did you do your work on the original gpx file I posted here, or on the kmz file that had been imported in the earlier beta? I expect you used the kmz file. I'll play with your solution a bit.
