The general map-making function for ggOceanMaps is
basemap. This function creates a "canvas" on which research data
can be plotted. The basemap function is analogous
to ggplot function from the ggplot2 package.
Remember to use data = <<NAMEOFDATASET>> for additional geometries
you plot on basemaps (basemap(60) + geom_point(data =
data.frame(lon = 50, lat = 70), aes(x = lon, y = lat)) as an example). As
a shortcut, you may also use qmap(data.frame(lon = c(10, 50), lat = c(60, 70))).
Bathymetry is plotted using the bathymetry argument.
