⚠️There's a newer version (1.5.1) of this package.Take me there.
RgoogleMaps (version 1.1.4)
Overlays on Google map tiles in R
Description
This package serves two purposes: (i) Provide a
comfortable R interface to query the Google server for static
maps, and (ii) Use the map as a background image to overlay
plots within R. This requires proper coordinate scaling. NOTE:
To do anything but downloading static map tiles, RgoogleMaps
needs EITHER rgdal OR ReadImages installed ! Such an OR
dependency is difficult to express in the Depends field, so I
moved both packages to suggested. rgdal is your package if you
prefer png file format and ReadImages if you prefer jpg format.
In the latter case, you will also need the libjpeg library
installed.
