Display a point on earth on a Google Map

Description

Creates a URL for Google Maps for a particular latitude and longitude position. This function has been deprecated due to changes in Google's access policies. Give leaflet_map() a try as an alternative.

Usage

googleMap(
  latitude,
  longitude,
  position = NULL,
  zoom = 12,
  maptype = c("roadmap", "satellite", "terrain", "hybrid"),
  mark = FALSE,
  radius = 0,
  browse = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

latitude, longitude	vectors of latitude and longitude values
position	a data frame containing latitude and longitude positions
zoom	zoom level for initial map (1-20)
maptype	one of 'roadmap', 'satellite', 'terrain', and 'hybrid'
mark	a logical indicating whether the location should be marked with a pin
radius	a vector of radii of circles centered at position that are displayed on the map
browse	a logical indicating whether the URL should be browsed (else only returned as a string)
...	additional arguments passed to browseURL

Value

a string containing a URL. Optionally, as a side-effect, the URL is visited in a browser
