NASA World Wind 1.4 can also display KML data.
To load a KML file, go to the file menu and click "Import KML/KMZ File...", then navigate to the file you want to open.
Information about individual nodes can be found in the Layer Manager.
The KML functionality in World Wind is much like it is in ArcGlobe.
The files are read only, and you can not change the way they are displayed.
