Radiomobile can output a .kml file directly. That's what we sent to the Oregon
broadband mapping program -- it opens directly in Google earth, and if we were
to have a overview of total WISP coverage, a series of .kml files in Google
Earth might not be a bad way to go.

Brian,
Any tips on turning radiomobile coverage overlays into shape files? I've
been playing with some open source tools and have made a little progress, but
haven't had time to refine the technique yet. I think if ISPs could produce
shape files more easily, the response would be much greater. For our state
program (Utah), we gave them gps coords for each subscriber, which they used
to extrapolate approximate area. I know they also accepted radiomobile graphic
overlays and converted them for some ISP's. Of course they have millions of
dollars to spend on such projects... I was disappointed with how few did
submit this round.

I have been thinking that I should do another update to the WISP National
Map. I would really love to improve the quality of the coverage area this time.
The thought is to have each WISP who participated in their respective state
broadband mapping initiative request a copy of the shape file for their
network. If everyone sent that information to me I could use that to create a
better nationwide map.
Thoughts, ideas, complaints?
