Alter altitude when opening KML link?

That's interesting, I'm not sure why the placemarks are being shown 3281ft. I thought I'd set them to show at ground level (or 0ft, which I guess would be mean sea level). Could that be a setting in your Google Earth?

I should add the altitude as an option on the admin page but in the meantime, you could change the following line, changing the 0 towards the end to be the value you want for altitude:

$items .= kml_format_placemark($item->title, $link, $item->teaser, $item->location['latitude'], $item->location['longitude'], 0, $extra);

I'm looking at this now. I'd forgotten that I'd put in a placeholder for extruding the points (line drawn from point in space to point on ground). Would this be suitable for displaying the placemarks off the ground instead of changing the altitude? Or are you actually wanting to refer to a point that's 7000ft up into the air?

This should be in my next commit to the module - it will give the option to specify the height above ground level in meters and decide whether or not to draw a line down to the ground to show where the point should lie.
