Is it possible to set basemap with google_map() to sattelite?

[thruesen]

Hi,

I see that it is possible to set basemap as a parameter in google_map_url(), but not in google_map(). I need the map in my shiny application to default to satellite basemap. (Ref: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/maptypes)

Is there any way to do this with googleway?

Brgds. Michael

yes - this will be available in the next CRAN release (in the next few days), or you can grab it from github now

remotes::install_github("SymbolixAU/googleway")

set_key( secret::get_secret("GOOGLE") )
google_map(map_type = "satellite")
