Making beautiful maps in R?

In addition to the ones posted here, in the R gallery website there are a few examples:

other websites with tutorials and good mapping examples in R:

• http://www.molecularecologist.com/2012/09/making-maps-with-r/

• http://www.r-bloggers.com/create-maps-with-maptools-r-package/

• http://procomun.wordpress.com/2012/02/18/maps_with_r_1/

• http://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/scicomp/usecases/CreateMapsWithRGraphics

I hope this helps. The last one gives you one example with vector data and another with satellite imagery, while the r-bloggers has many other mapping examples with R.

According to your question the very good example is on this link . This link contains various beautiful map collections using R software . I am sure this will help you!!. I am also referring above site for reference.

The ebook "Data mashups in R" is just 40 Pages long and will walk you through an example project (mapping foreclosures in Washington DC)

From the first reader-review :

This book presents an interesting project, drawing together a number of data sources and geocoding them.

I've once skimmed the PDF, want to have a closer look someday. It's on my to-do list.
