basemaps
basemaps is a lightweight R package to download and cache spatial basemaps from open sources such as OpenStreetMap, Stamen, Stadia, Thunderforest, Carto, Mapbox, Esri, Maptiler and others. Retrieved basemaps are translated into and returned as classes of choice, such as terra, stars, raster, ggplot, mapview, magick, or as files, such as png or geotif. The package aims to ease the use of basemaps in different contexts by providing a function interface as minimalist as possible.
Install the latest stable release of basemaps from CRAN:
install.packages("basemaps")Install the latest development version of basemaps from GitHub:
devtools::install_github("16EAGLE/basemaps")All available map services and map types can be printed using get_maptypes(). The basemap() function and its class-specific aliases facilitate (down)loading a basemap and returning it as a class of choice. Map preferences that should be used during a session can be set as defaults using set_defaults().

As of the date of implementation, all map services requiring registration offer their maps for free (please refer to the respective servicesâ terms of use for details).

get_maptypes() returns every supported map service and map type that can be used as input to the map_service and map_type arguments of set_defaults(), basemap() or associated functions.draw_ext() lets you draw an extent on an interactive map.set_defaults(), get_defaults() and reset_defaults() set, get or reset the defaults of all map arguments passed to basemap() or associated functions.basemap() and its aliases basemap_raster(), basemap_stars(), basemap_mapview(), basemap_plot(), basemap_ggplot(), basemap_gglayer(), basemap_magick(), basemap_png() and basemap_geotif() (down)load and cache a basemap of a defined extent ext, map_service and map_type and return it as an object of the defined class.gg_raster() plots objects of class SpatRaster, RasterLayer, RasterBrick or RasterStack as ggplot2.flush_cache() deletes all cached map tiles and basemaps.If you are interested in obtaining basemaps, you also may want to have a look at ceramic, an R package developed by Michael Sumner with a similar goal.
The underpinning code of basemaps was originally developed for moveVis and has been detached to allow its general use.
