Position camera using lon/lat and height above ground #41

It would be really useful to be able to position the camera using a lon/lat value and height above ground in metres. That way you can have full control over where the camera is in geographic space, proving useful for situations where you may want a fixed camera watching over an area at a certain distance and height (eg. with the 3D air traffic demo looking over Heathrow Airport).

Hey, this would be a great feature to have. I'm currently setting up a model for a small part of my home city, but the camera starts off at some hundred meters above ground level, requiring the user to scroll before they can see the area of interest. Perhaps this could be set with the .setView parameter, at the same time as the start coordinates?

Cheers, and I love the project, it's very impressive!
