Description
As discovered here: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/61570/how-to-convert-kml-google-latitude-to-shp-on-linux
GDAL and OGR drivers are not able to load KML written by Google Latitude. Garmin BaseCamp was the only software I found to read and display the format.
A working script for translating to GPX can be found here: https://gist.github.com/johnjohndoe/5650449 (not sure about the license of that).
It would be nice to have that in the KML driver as well.

trunk r26053 "LIBKML: add support for reading <gx:Track> as a LINESTRING (#5095)"
Note that this is in the LIBKML driver not the legacy KML driver. And the <when> elements are lost. An alternative would be to split the track as as many points with each timestamp attached. But would require more significant development effort (funding can help).
