Default KML is the way to go

If you can convert your CSV into XML, you can import the list very easily.

To figure out the XML schema, just create a few temporary places and then save them out (select KML as the file type, not KMZ).

Take a look at the KML file and then you can write a little script that will convert your CSV data into "KML", which is really just straight XML.

Change the filename to .kml and then load it up in GE.

Hope that helps,
