Hi all, Does anyone have experience reading and writing KML files in R? I have seen several threads that seem to suggest that it is difficult if not impossible, but it is convenient to use KML files when working with Google Earth and inconvenient to read and write shapefiles and then convert to KML using other software. If anyone is able to read and write KML files, if they could provide a description of how to do it, I am sure a lot of people would appreciate it. I have tried to do so under both Windows and Linux to no avail. The Windows approach looks more difficult, judging by the readme file associated with rgdal.
