RgoogleMaps
Dear all, I'm using the package RgoogleMaps to import google earth maps into R. The object that is retrieved with function GetMap contains a number of slots which I think can be used to translate the google picture into a geoTiff to for example import into ArgGis. If anyone would have an example of how to accomplish that or what function to use, I'd be very greatful. Best wishes, Erik Meesters
Erik, it is is actually much simpler:
g <- gmap("Amsterdam, Netherlands", type='satellite', filename="adam.gif")
hdr(g, 'worldfile', 'gfw')
Now open "adam.gif" in ArcMap, but set the projection of the ArcGIS
"data.frame" to Mercator.
