Why create maps with R?

“

- [Charlie] Hello, I'm Charlie and I work as a data visualization specialist, and I have to make lots of maps, lots of different kinds of maps and of different places around the world. I use R for every single step of my mapping workflow and for every single map that I make. This includes data cleaning and wrangling by combining together the sf package with the powerful Tidyverse ecosystem, all of which are cover in this course. I will also show you how to make easy-to-read static maps for ggplot2 and engaging interactive maps with the leaflet package. R is absolutely a fully-featured tool for doing GIS and working with geospatial data. And this course will make you feel confident in using R to make maps. Let's get started.
