Barry, This is it! So simple. I was really annoyed that there should be no way to use the free-to-use Google Earth regularly without paying a horrendous fee.
Of course, it now takes very long to load the KML for the first time, but I just need to save it afterwards from within Google Earth, so that the newly calculated coordinates are saved together with the addresses.
