I've been looking at the KMLViewSetter transformer, but when I set lat/long values in there it continues to open to the default location in Google Earth. I've tried using the values in the doc example, but it still opens to the default location.
I might be missing something - but has anyone got this to work and could help me out?

Please share more information about your problem? Your workspace doesn't contain any data. Can you share a template? (File / Save as Template)
Specifically I've set Lat / Long etc in the kmlViewSettings trasnformer and it continues to open to the default location. I tried using the values in this example and no good.

I think the <LookAt> tags in KML can be applied to almost any object. In you're example, you've applied the <LookAt> tag to every feature in your dataset (rnc_catalog_lines_densified). If you click on a feature then that view point will be applied. My guess is that if you applied the <LookAt> to a higher level object such as Document or Folder, then you'd get the <LookAt> as your default view. I've tried this for a Document feature type and it seems to work. I've attached the revised workspace:
<Document><LookAt><longitude>-90</longitude><latitude>35</latitude><altitude>0</altitude><range>800000</range><tilt>30</tilt><heading>0</heading>...That did it! Thanks!
