Dear Torleif,

I just tried to produce another SpatialPolygons like nat.sp from SHP file like this following: 
natSHP.sp <- readShapePoly(system.file("nro2.shp", package="maptools")[1], proj4string=CRS("+init=epsg:2166"))

in order to approach it in the same way for saving the information in KML file

But it doesn't work. Do you know what's going wrong or do you have any better idea?

The nro2.shp is under http://jaguar.biologie.hu-berlin.de/~jian/phpMysqlGoogle/arcViewNro2/ available.

greeting,
Jian
