That is indeed what it is doing, since the latitudes of the sites match the 
declination readout and the R.A. is the current sidereal time.

My first suggestion would be for them to provide a way to observe the sky from 
one of these sites, and Google Earth would then go into "horizon view" mode 
like planetarium software.  Of course the surrounding horizon would show 
terrestrial features already built into the Google Earth database.
