How to remove some placemarks in the "Google Earth Community layer" ?
Some people have upload a lot of useless placemark like all the french city names (placemarks allready in the populated places layer). So when you turn the "Google Earth Community layer" on, more than 99% of the "Ecological placemarks" are useless duplicates. And make unreadable the "real" Ecological layers.

Please give us the possibility to remove some layers.
