Is there a way not to use the default map location and instead display a zoom level of the uploaded kml file? If you had many different nodes with KML files attached of locations from all over a country it would be nice if the the user did not have to zoom into that part of the country to view the KML location.

Ive changed the category to feature request. This is a great module for displaying uploaded kml files easily but I agree that being able to set the default zoom to the uploaded kml area plus pick a default zoom level for that area would be great, and from what I can tell this is not possible at the moment.

Well, I got this working using the old trick of creating a second "invisible" openlayer data layer with views. I added a lat/lon geofield to the same node as the kml file and insert programmatically the starting point of my track. Then I add this to views openlayer and then use the zoom to feature after enabling this layer as invisible. Works great.

I guess someone smarter than me could build an extension than does similar using http://drupal.org/project/geophp and looking up the centroid/bounding for the kml file and adding a layer to openlayers.
