True. The library does support lookat via the kdm_kml_lookat object.
If you spend much time in GE at all, I strongly suggest you invest $80
in a 6-DOF mouse. An hour with that and you'll never be able to use GE
with a regular mouse again... http://www.3dconnexion.com/

Pretty cool. I will check out your library, as I am doing a fair
bit of google earth stuff as well.
One suggestion, perhaps putting a view like this (below)
would be better, as that file zooms me directly into the
image, and it is hard to see what it is (and hard to navigate
out to get a good look).
