[R-sig-Geo] a world type mapping question

[Jose M Molina]

Hi R-Sig-Geo  friends,

I have climatic data sets generated with R, and As Erin, I also need to 
plot spatial attributes (e.g. monthly rainfall), but at a country-level.
In addition, I need also to plot spatial variability (e.g. isolines of 
mean annual precipitation) in the specified country.
I am exploring now {rworldmap}, but it seems this is not possible. 
{PlotGoogleMaps} offers a very nice option, although I am struggling 
still with generating spatial interpolation for the isolines.

I appreciate tour comments/suggestions.

Jose
