Hi guys, my question is rather not from quant finance field, but I'm sure some of you have more than decent R skills and experience, so maybe someone helps me with this one: I want to draw a map of London and put some points on it based on geographical coordinates - what R package and source of data (in a suitable format) would you suggest? The map can be really simple, without any fancy effects I'm simple afraid I don't have enough time to figure all of this out fully by myself (it's an optional part of job assignment). Thanks for any help :)
 
Check the googleVis package. It has maps support. It should be able to help you achieve your results.
 
Thanks for your replies alain. Lots of interesting stuff can be found in the packages you mentioned :)
