You can set your cache_dir
with gisco_set_cache_dir()
.
Sometimes cached files may be corrupt. On that case, try re-downloading
the data setting update_cache = TRUE
.
If you experience any problem on download, try to download the
corresponding .geojson
file by any other method and save it on your
cache_dir
. Use the option verbose = TRUE
for debugging the API query.
