Mapping with R

When you think of making maps, you probably think of complicated, expensive tools like ArcGIS. What if I told you that you could make maps with R, a tool you already know how to use?

You don’t need to invest hours and hours learning a completely new tool. And you don’t need to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars for a license to use that tool.

In recent years, R has become a fully-fledged tool for doing geospatial work. You can clean, wrangle, and analyze geospatial data with R. And of course, you can make maps with it.

Not just any maps. Beautiful maps like these.

Here, we go for the first #TidyTuesday for this year.
