[R-sig-Geo] mapView: basic interactive viewing of spatial data in R

[Thomas Adams]

Tim,

WOW! This is very cool...

Using the tips from others, I did the following (to summarize):

install.packages("leaflet",dependencies=T)
library("devtools")
install_github("environmentalinformatics-marburg/Rsenal")

Works great in the few minutes I've tried it.

Thanks!!

Tom
