How to create a map of Denmark with ggmap
13
I have installed the following two packages:
library(ggmap)
library(maps)
I have found code online to create a world map (see below). How do I zoom the plot on a country level? For example, Denmark.
ggplot()+
borders("world", colour="gray50", fill="gray50")
r ggplot2 ggmap

If we look at ?borders and, for more into, ?map, we see that we may use the regions argument:
ggplot() + borders(regions = "Denmark", colour = "gray50", fill = "gray50")

Also, a very beautiful package for maps is leaflet: i.el <- leaflet() %>% setView(lat = 50.85045, lng = 4.34878, zoom=5) %>% addTiles(group="OSM")

@Julius Vainora: Thanks. Can I add layers to this plot? For example if I find a data set with "state boundries"?

@David, yes, layers can be added, for instance+ geom_point(data = data.frame(x = 12, y = 56), aes(x = x, y = y))adds a point.

When using maps, you might want to addcoord_cartesian(), so that the scale of the x and the y axes match.

Get the bounds of Denmark in lat-long and use coord_fixed:
ggplot() + borders("world", colour="gray50", fill="gray50") + coord_fixed(xlim=c(7, 12), ylim=c(52, 58))
You can get the bounds from the map package:
> map("world", "Denmark", plot=FALSE)$range
[1] 8.121484 15.137110 54.628857 57.736916
And you might want to expand these a bit for nicer spacing and more context.

Odd. Doesmap("world","Denmark")produce a map of Denmark? What about "France" or "Belgium"? Is it using local country names ("Danmark")? Doesmap("world")draw a map? Doesmap("world",plot=FALSE)$namesreturn a vector of country/region names? If those don't work, then that's very odd and you should ask a new Q or report a bug...

Start a new clean R session, dolibrary(maps), then try? Maybe you've got something masking themaps::mapfunction. Probablypurrr::map? Don't uselibrary(tidyverse).
