Thanks a lot, that was what I needed at just at the perfect time ;-)

My computer is rendering for tiles at home, and I was about to print out a 
few of the rendered png's to compare it to a paper map to see which 
streets I would have to map but GE makes comparing the street 
information in OSM to "the real thing" much easier ;-)

By the way, sort of legal question: If I "visually" compare the 
converted kml with the sattelite images GE is showing me, would this be 
an inappropiate use of GE imagery? Would that somehow compromise the CC 
Licence of the OSM data?
