Google Earth Pro on new M1 error

I recently updated from an Intel MacBook 13" (2015) to a MacBook Pro 16" with the M1 processor. When I start Google Earth Pro I get the following error message:

Google Earth Pro then starts with none of my saved places.

I have reloaded Google Earth Pro and the error still occurs.

I have checked the myplaces.kml file and it has not been updated since it ran on the old computer.

This question has been asked by others with no resolution.

Does anyone have a fix or any ideas to try?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

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.

Then I suggest you use the Google Earth boards I linked to. You have a mis-configuration somewhere.

Does Username_1 show up in Users and Groups?

Shouldn't that read *Path: Library/* ? I don't understand why the Library would be in the Users directory! Is there any chance you could redirect the path? (or do I need more coffee)

No, "username 1" does not show up.

This is also the path shown in the .plist file on my old computer, which does not have this problem.

I copied the old .plist to the new computer, no change.
