Increase number of coordinates in KML google earth

Currently I have a route plotted by Google Earth automatically from point A to B. In the KML files, the LineString coordinates show quite a number of points, but it not enough for my project. Is there a way to increase the coordinates generated automatically? or is there any formular that I can use? Thanks.

It would be helpful if you can explain why you need more points.

Generally speaking, you can split each segment by adding another point between two points.

Something like:

splitLat = (lat1 + lat2)/2.0;
splitLng = (lng1 + lng2)/2.0;

resulting in:

<coordinates>
...
lat1, lat2, 0
splitlat, splitLng, 0
lat2, lng2, 0
...
</coordinates>
