How to read or import a kml file in R
Well that hardly seems the whole story. rgdal package's readOGR should be able to import kml into an sp object, which can be analyzed or plotted. https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2010-May/008370.html I think Erin was confusing it with KMZ files which are a bundle of kml + images(sometimes) that are hard to use anywhere but Google Earth. Though the trick is to just unzip them and use the components individually. Thanks, Alex

Hello Manuel: Not sure what you're trying to do. KML files display in Google Earth & Google Maps. You can create KML files in R but not display them. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Erin
