When you save the image there's a checkbox to make white transparent.
Make sure the background is actually white. I think in image properties
it's brightness 100%, contrast 0%. Or in some later version he added a
"white background" radio button.

so that works, but the white is still showing up. somewhere i thought
there was an opacity setting that made the white clear
i wish i used RM regularly, its so good, bet its so intermittent that
everytime i use it it burns two days

Seriously though, I think loading overlays was broken in either the
Google Maps API or Google Earth API at some point....that might be
what you're thinking of.

Nah, it still works.
Plot coverage on a white background.
Save image as a PNG with white as transparent.
A KML gets saved alongside the image.
Open KML in Google Earth, then re-save it as a KMZ. The KMZ will
contain the image and the KML in one file.....otherwise you have to
email multiple files to people.

i used to do this all the time, now i cant remember how. Im
plotting for midpoint scouting. I need to put it on a kml for the
guy to go to the target areas marking structures. being able to
interact in google earth is a requirement and there are other
specifics
if i recall correctly there was an google earth update that was
going to break the kmz overlay option, but that was a long time ago
