Hi,

I would like to ask some questions... My aim is produce nice maps of
distribution (kernels) of my studied species. So far I have been using
"rworldmap" to get general view, but for presentation I would like to make
the maps more beautiful :)
I was able to get the Google maps (using "dismo" package) and create a map,
but I am not able to add axes and legend to this map, what makes it quite
useless as a map... Any suggestions?

library(dismo)
e <- extent( -60 , -10 , 0 , 40 )  ## extent (long, long, lat, lat)
r <- gmap(e, type="satellite", scale=2)
plot(r, interpolate=TRUE)


Other thing is that I am open to use any other map as a background
(preferably with topografhy and bathymetry), for example does anyone know
if it is possible to use "Blue Marble" map for this?

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Zuzana
