Earlier this evening I tried to leave a note there to ask the author for
the script, but failed, it seems.

Hi everyone,

I hope I am posting on the right list. I have recently started analyzing
some data that involves connections between people in various cities. I
would be extremely grateful if someone could point me towards a solution for
drawing "geographical networks" similar to the flight maps at the back of
airline magazines (i.e. New York connects to L.A. etc.). I have looked at
all the usual suspects so far: sp/maptools for GIS (mostly by using spplot)
and igraph/statnet for social network analysis. None of the packages seems
to do exactly what I need, but I hope I am wrong.

Thanks in advance,
