R access to high resolution raster maps using the OpenStreetMap protocol. Dozens of road, satellite, and topographic map servers are directly supported, including CloudMade, Mapnik, Bing, stamen, and MapQuest. Maps can be plotted using either base graphics, or ggplot2. This package is not affiliated with the OpenStreetMap.org mapping project.
Basically about using
match.arg
fortype
so as to ease the pain/scope for mistakes if the list of supportedtype
s is changing over time.
