What is the coordinate system? #41

Closed dicook closed 4 years ago

The x and y in the US map look like they are UTM.

Is it possible to get lat long coordinates instead?

@dicook The coordinates have been transformed from lat/long to what they are now to use a different projection. If you want to plot lat/long points you can convert them using usmap_transform and then add them to plot_usmap (see the earthquakes example towards the bottom of this page: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/usmap/vignettes/advanced-mapping.html).
