You can set it in your XML layout also (sets the middlish of North America):

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:name="pl.mg6.android.maps.extensions.SupportMapFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    map:cameraBearing="0"
    map:cameraTargetLat="53.938305"
    map:cameraTargetLng="-112.763672"
    map:cameraTilt="30"
    map:cameraZoom="2" />

I'm using the android maps extension in that example. Great library BTW. I really like this approach as it loads it right away and you never see Africa. IMO it seems to be the best.

Note! I should warn you that I get a compile error until I make a space and then save the file again when I start Eclipse up after I'm done for the day... Anyone know why this is?
