Be sure to take a look at KNSGEM created by a buddy

Features:


Provides a single point interface to your ( Kismet and NetStumbler ) logs via the Knsgem Master KML. The Knsgem Master listing provides a summary of all your logs, including Total Nets, WEP, GPS data, and location. It also provides a link to your individual logs. Once a log set is loaded the placemark provides additional details about the individual networks contained. Each Network has the ability to link directly to all graphic views available which currently are basic “Placemark” icons, coverage “Circles”, raw plots “Hull” and perimeter scatter plots “Averaged”.
