Streetmaps with R

Site under construction. You better read this in a few days ;-)

Streetmaps are a great idea This post is inspired by ggplot2tor He presented the basic code to construct streetmaps using open street map data and then doing the fine-tuning and polishing with Powerpoint. As a convinced R User I wanted to see, how much of this manual work can as well be integrated to R.

TODO:

integrate the two approaches: ggplot2tor hat a better map and color, but the package has better functionality (x/y coordinates) make frame overlap a bit into the map
