Arguments

location

an address, longitude/latitude pair (in that order), or left/bottom/right/top bounding box

zoom

map zoom, an integer from 3 (continent) to 21 (building), default value 10 (city). openstreetmaps limits a zoom of 18, and the limit on stamen maps depends on the maptype. "auto" automatically determines the zoom for bounding box specifications, and is defaulted to 10 with center/zoom specifications. maps of the whole world currently not supported.

scale

scale argument of get_googlemap() or get_openstreetmap()

maptype

character string providing map theme. options available are "terrain", "terrain-background", "satellite", "roadmap", and "hybrid" (google maps), "terrain", "watercolor", and "toner" (stamen maps)

source

Google Maps ("google"), OpenStreetMap ("osm"), Stamen Maps ("stamen")

force

force new map (don't use archived version)

messaging

turn messaging on/off

urlonly

return url only

filename

destination file for download (file extension added according to format). Default NULL means a random tempfile().

crop

(stamen and cloudmade maps) crop tiles to bounding box

color

color ("color") or black-and-white ("bw")

language

language for google maps

...

...

Details

An error in the CRAN available version of get_map means it will only plot Google Maps objects rather than Stamen or OSM maps. When ggmap is updated this function will be removed. See help(get_map) for more details.

Value

a ggmap object (a classed raster object with a bounding box attribute)
