Right.. I've already converted the overlay to vector before feeding it
into the kml to shp.
I said "the Radiomobile overlay into a raster (svg) in Inkscape "... I
should have said "the Radiomobile overlay into a _vector_ (svg) in Inkscape"

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.
