World map in magnetic coordinates

I'm not sure what world map you are referring to here. Can you tell
us the R commands that plot it?

 The data points are in there somewhere, and if you want to transform
them with something that isn't spTransform then we'll have to tell you
how to get them. If the map is a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame then the
coordinates are obtained by getting the individual polygons which are
made up of rings which are made up of points and so on. Messy but
possible to apply a generic transformation function to them.

 What does your conversion software work on? Text files?
