NASA World Wind Plug-In (KMLImporter)
KMLImporter support extended ... I've extended KMLImporter placemark with lots of small and not so small features.
Most notable are support for folders and icons from disk. This means that you can now simply extract a KMZ file with a tool like WinRAR, KMLImporter will then be able to find the extracted icons when you load the extracted KML.
There have been lots of small fixes regarding styles, so just about any KML with icons should load now
A new version is available at http://www.twobeds.com/shockfire/WW-Rel/KMLImporter7.zip
