Quick Guide
- Make sure you have downloaded the RgoogleMaps package.
- code: library(Rgooglemaps)
- Create a base map
- find geocode for center of desired map, adjust zoom as needed
- example code (for map of North America): newmap <- GetMap(center = c(39, -95), zoom = 3, destfile = "NorthAmerica.png")
- Transform addresses into geocode via http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_example_geo2.asp?addr1=United%20States%20of%20America&geocode=1
- Plot map, adjust variables
- example code: PlotOnStaticMap(newmap, lat = c(30.268606, 41.888519), lon = c(-97.740467, -87.63548), pch = 20, col = "red")
- lat=latitude; lon=longitude, pch = point style, color="color"
