Most of the kml to shape file tools will only work on files that are polygons. The image overlays won't necessarily work.

Thanks Brian, Kristian, I'll have to check out Splat! some time soon. My process involved converting the Radiomobile overlay into a raster (svg) in Inkscape, then convert that to KML. I can't remember off the top of my head how I did it, but I was able to preserve the gps coordinates of the shape through the conversions. My primary need was to create interactive Google maps (ie: your home can be served by ap1, ap3 and ap4, with ap1 being the closest). There are a number of apps for converting from KML shapes to .shp files, just haven't had a chance to experiment with them yet. * Inkscape: http://inkscape.org/ * KML2SVG: http://kml2svg.free.fr/index3.php -- Randy Cosby | InfoWest, Inc | www.infowest.com Vice President | 435-674-0165 x 2010 | facebook.com/infowest ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
