Pin not being created in KML

I am trying to write a KML with thumbnails of photos linked to specific point locations. I have managed to create the balloon containing the information I want, but I can't get the pin to appear.

I've interrogated the resultant KML and have noticed that a point isn't being created as per the sample code from Google. If I add this information in with the correct coordinates, the pins show up as per the options I have set within the workbench.

I have attached some screenshots of the parameters I'm using, any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm not sure, but it looks as if you're only creating your raster geometry and not your point geometry. If so, the trick may be to create the point geometry, then use an Aggregator transformer, group by Photo ID, and mode set to "Geometry - Assemble One Level".

Many thanks, a combination of the Aggregator and using the workbench from the link worked!
