[R] geoghraphical coordinate

[Frede Aakmann Tøgersen]

Hi Eliza

Try this:

library("maps")

library("mapdata")

map('worldHires')

map('worldHires', 'Ireland')

Don't know in which resolution the hires is. You need to find out yourself. If the resolution is to low please contribute ;-)

 Otherwise there are geographical resources on the internet in different formats, e.g. ESRI shape files or others. Google for that:

https://www.google.dk/search?q=Ireland+shape+file&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:da:official&client=firefox-a&channel=sb&gws_rd=cr&ei=1YMsU4uUJcikkgXZ_4HwCQ

See the first hit:

 In most cases there are R packages dealing with the different formats. Just google the CRAN.

Yours sincerely / Med venlig hilsen
