R help - Sep 2012 - Creating multiple maps so points don't overlap

Hello,

I am working within package 'maptools' to plot a number of collared
animal
locations by reading in shapefiles of locations, roads, hydrology, and
landownership as imported layers.

The trouble I have is that some individual locations are overlapping and I
would like to "zoom" into or create new plots for overlapping
points/points
that are too close together. I will be making many of these maps, so I
would like to not have to manually select the limits for each area where
points are overlapping.

I would be grateful for any information on how to code for a new plot to be
created or zoomed in upon when points are "x" close together.

Thank you,

- MIPP

Not sure whether you are asking for individual map in form like interactive or
pdf.
However packages like rgdal, plotGoogleMaps might be helpful.

It will be good if you can provide some data with the question.

Best,

Bhupendrasinh Thakre
