Similar to GMap2's getBounds() or the BBOX coordinates sent with a Google Earth request.

I'd like this too (for the moment, I'll try using lookAt.getRange(), which I gather,
by trial-and-error, gives the width of the current view in meters (hey Google, what
about improving the documentation on getRange -- what does it return, exactly?  In
general, I find GE documentation to be a bit skimpy.)

I also need this feature my application.  I was using the Network Link feature and
extracting the BBOX to get this information, however the Placemarks I generated
cannot be iterated if I create them using a KML file.

Where are the Placemark objects stored when they are generated via the Network Link
in this manner?  NetworkLink does not have a "getChildren()" method but when I
examine the getParentNode() of a Placemark passed to me through an event handler, it
claims its parent is a "NetworkLink".
