Google Earth Pro on new M1 error

That didn't work directly. I copied those lines into text editor, overwrote "username" with my user name, then copied those lines into terminal. That did the trick! (I couldn't seem to do that in terminal. It has been many years since I used a terminal program.)

Thank you very much.

Fortunately, I had the old Myplaces file from the old computer saved away in a couple places. Had it gotten lost I could easily replace it, in fact I did that just before dinner.

I don't know what that did, so it might be useful to others with this problem to explain it a little for historical reasons. I always look in Google for answers in these user communities before I actually go in to ask a question. I usually find the answer I need that way.

I owe you a beer.

That did not help. The error still remains.

When I reloaded GE that file was not recreated, nor are the Myplaces and Cache files recreated.

No, "username 1" does not show up.
