geoPlot-package: Geocodes street address or ip address, plots on Google map,...

In RandallShanePhD/geoPlot: Geocodes street or ip addresses and plots them on a map.

Description

There are 4 primary functions:
1) Resolve street address to point and box coordinates.
2) Resolve ip address to point coordinates.
3) Plot resolved points on specified Google map.
4) Determine distance between 2 points in km or mi using haversine formula.

INSTRUCTIONS:

To resolve (geocode) a single address to coordinates:
x <- geoAddress(c("001","202 South Central Avenue","Flagler Beach","FL","32136","US"))
Plot the address on a map:
geoPlot(x)

To geocode and plot a data frame of addresses: (see geoAddr for format)
addr <- load('ListOfAddresses.rda')
geoAddr <- addrListLookup(addr)
geoPlot(geoAddr)


To geocode a single ip address:
x <- geoIP("38.122.8.198")
Plot on the map:
geoPlot(x)

To geocode and plot a data frame of ips: (see geoIP for format)
ips <- load('ListOfIPs.rda')
geoIPs <- ipListLookup(ips)
geoPlot(geoIPs)


To determine the distance between 2 points:
haversine("28.54703","-81.30292","26.93422","-80.09421")

To determine the distance between 2 points resolved above:
haversine(geoAddr[1,3],geoAddr[1,4],geoAddr[2,3],geoAddr[2,4])
haversine(geoIPs[1,3],geoIPs[1,4],geoIPs[2,3],geoIPs[2,4])
