R help - Jun 2011 - error with geomap in googleVis

Hi All,
 
I am unable to get the plot geomap in googleVis package. data is as follows
 
> head(index.ret)
    country    ytd
1 Argentina -10.18
2 Australia  -3.42
3   Austria  -2.70
4   Belgium   1.94
5    Brazil  -7.16
6    Canada   0.56
 
> map1 = gvisGeoMap(index.ret,locationvar = 'country', numvar =
'ytd')
> plot(map1)
 
But it just displays a blank page, showing an error symbol at the right
bottom corner. I tried demo(googleVis), it also had a similar problem. The
demo showed all other plots/maps except for those geomaps. Could any one
please hint me what/where could be the problem? Many thanks for the idea and
support. 
 
Regards,

Hi All,

I have also encountered this problem.  I have tested the problem in Windows XP
with R 2.13.0, Windows 7 with R 2.13.0, Ubuntu 11.04 32bit with R 2.13.0.  I
have latest java and flash and I have tried both Firefox and IE (both latest
versions under Windows 7).  All other plots exceot geomap in googleVis work just
fine.

I too would like to know how to solve this problem.

Kind regards,

Michael Phipps
