Follow these steps when moving placemark information from Google Earth to a template.
Notes have been added in bold and yellow.
Stuff you'll want to edit is in orange
When you open a placemark in a text editor, you will see a lot of information:
<kml>
<document>
<name>
<etc>
<LookAt>
(camera data) <!-- copy all these values at once and stick it in the template -->
</LookAt>
</etc>
</name>
</document>
</kml>
The important part is the camera location information. This is all between the <LookAt> and </LookAt>. You can copy all of this at once, and replace it in your template. Be sure you replace all of the same data in your template.
