Google Key Markup .KML and .KMZ Import Automation Options
Since the Import Options dialog is not displayed when the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script. The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various export options. A typical example would be:
"Defaults = 1, LabelPointsMode=3"
This would first set all import options to their default values, then imports point placemarks with label style as marker and text symbols.
