[R-sig-Geo] Problems with mapmisc::insetMap()

[Agustin Lobo]

Thanks,

Do you know why your solution does not work on a raster layer?
i.e.

require(rgdal)
require(raster)
require(mapmisc)
require(TeachingDemos)

nicabg2 <- openmap(nica,path="cartodb")
plot(nicabg2)
subplot({
    plot(world, col=1, xlim=c(-120, 30), ylim=c(-30, 40))
    box()
    points(coordinates(nica), pch=20, cex=2, col='red')
}, 'bottomright', inset=c(0.01, 0.01), size=c(1, 1))
