⚠️There's a newer version (1.5.1) of this package.Take me there.

RgoogleMaps (version 1.4.2)

Overlays on Static Maps

Description

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.
