Restoring Google Earth files from iCloud

Question

Restoring Google Earth files from iCloud

I have an iMac with OS Sierra most recent edition. I had to have my OS restored. I then restored from Time Machine. However, on Google Earth, my saved places did not restore. Someone suggested that they would be available on iCloud. Is this true? And if so, how can I restore that data back to Google Earth?

iMac with Retina 5K display, iOS 9.3.5

Open the Finder.

At the top of the screen, click Go. Hold down Option or Alt, then click Library Application support Google Earth.

You'll see a file called "myplaces.kml". This file has your saved locations.

Note: If you want to replace a corrupted myplaces.kml file, use "myplaces.backup.kml."

Found here -- Move saved locations to a new computer - Google Earth Help.
