Description: Hi

I was a regular user of GBIF as I could previously download a google earth .kml file for a particular dataset. It appearsthat the site no longer provides this extremely useful feature, and instead supplies the data in some kind of text file that is basically gobbledegook as the data is not organised for easy readability, and cannot be loaded into Google earth.
Can you please re-instate a.s.a.p the ability to download a Google earth .kml file for any dataset I define, exactly as before?
Many kind thanks.
