Placemark

KML Format Attribute	Remarks
kml_common_style	A unique string that identifies the common style. See Writer Operations for more information.
kml_icon	Either a name of an icon, or a path to an icon. This value is overridden by the value of the kml_icon_href attribute.
kml_create_info_point	Forces the creating of an aggregate containg the original feature geometry, and a point. Used for creating Placemarks that are clickable, but styled using an external <Style> element.
kml_target_style	Contains the id of an associated style element. Will be used to generate the appropriate <styleUrl> element.
kml_target_style_normal	Contains the ID of an associated style element that should be active when the placemark is not active. If specified, kml_target_style_highlight must also be specified. Will result in the creation of the appropriate <StyleMap> element.
kml_target_style_highlight	Contains the ID of an associated style element that should be active when the placemark is highlighted on mouse-over. If specified, kml_target_style_normal must also be specified. Will result in the creation of the appropriate <StyleMap> element.
kml_tour_stop_tour_name	The name of the tour for which a tour stop corresponding to this placemark should be generated.
kml_tour_stop_tour_duration	The total duration for the tour of which the tour stop corresponding to this placemark is a component.
kml_tour_stop_flyto_mode	The flyto mode to be used by FlyTo component of the tour stop associated with this Placemark.
kml_tour_stop_display_balloon	Whether or not to display the Placemark’s balloon when the tour reaches the Placemarks tour stop. Valid values are yes, and no.
kml_tour_stop_delay_type	The type of delay for the tour stop corresponding to this Placemark. Valid values are none, wait, and pause.
kml_tour_stop_delay_duration	The duration of the tour stop’s delay if the delay type is wait.
kml_tour_stop_view_perspective	The perspective from which the tour stop (and Placemark) should be observed. If the value is First Person, the view will be from the precise coordinates of the tour stop location. If the value is Third Person, the view will be from a point orbiting the tour stop location.
kml_tour_stop_view_range	The distance, in meters, from the tour stop’s view point to the tour stop location in the Third Person perspective. If the value is <calculate>, the range value will be calculated such that view show the tour stop, as well as a portion of the remaining tour. The calculated range is constant for every tour stop.
kml_tour_stop_view_heading	The direction (azimuth) of the tour stop’s view, in degrees, relative to north. If the value is <calculate>, the heading value will be calculated such the heading for the current stop is in the direction of the next stop.
kml_tour_stop_view_tilt	The rotation, in degrees, of the tour stop’s view around the X axis. A value of 0 indicates that the view is aimed straight down, and a value of 90 indicates that the view is aimed toward the horizon. Values greater than 90 only apply if the view perspective is First Person, and indicate that the view is pointed up into the sky. If the value is <calculate>, the tilt value will be calculated such the tilt for the current stop is in the direction of the next stop.
