Abstract

Google Maps has become one of the most recognized and convenient ways of providing statistical information on geographically referenced data. In this article, we introduce a method for embedding Google Maps images into an R-interface and look at the spatial and temporal development of an oil spill and earthquake. In addition, we develop an extended function to present various statistical graphs such as bar graphs, spine plots, pie charts, rectangle graphs, and four-fold plots on Google Maps images.
