I am a beginner to R and I need to map some Atlantic puffin migration routes onto a map of the Northern Hemisphere. I have a latitude and longitude point per bird, per day. I would like to be able to plot the routes of all my birds on one map and ideally so that I can see at which date they are at each location. This is a shortened version of my data for one bird only. Bird Date Latitude Longitude eb80976 16/07/2012 50.99 -5.85 eb80976 17/07/2012 52.09 -4.58 eb80976 18/07/2012 49.72 -5.56 eb80976 19/07/2012 51.59 -3.17 eb80976 20/07/2012 52.45 -2.03 eb80976 21/07/2012 56.015 -10.51 Any help would be much appreciated. I am not totally sure where to start! Many thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
You'll probably get a more detailed reply from someone with more expertise, but have you looked at something like what this article proposes: https://medium.com/fastah-project/a-quick-start-to-maps-in-r-b9f221f44ff3 On Mon, Jul 9, 2018 at 1:53 PM Laura Steel <laura.steel at magd.ox.ac.uk> wrote:> I am a beginner to R and I need to map some Atlantic puffin migration > routes > onto a map of the Northern Hemisphere.

Laura: 1. We generally do not do code for you; we expect you to show your efforts first. 2. You might want to post this on the r-sig-geo list instead. They specialize in such issues, so that you are more likely to find helpful advice there. 3. There are many good R tutorials on the web. e.g. see here: https://www.rstudio.com/online-learning/ As a "beginner," if you have not already done so, you should avail yourself of them before posting further.

https://imgur.com/a/0f72Fsz results from the following code:
ggplot()+borders("world", colour="gray50",
fill="gray50")+geom_line(aes(x=Longitude, y=Latitude), birds)
It's ugly, but it will give you a starting point. -- H

perhaps geom_path rather than geom_line?

Hi Laura,
Here's a basic method:
lsdf<-read.table(text="Bird Date Latitude Longitude

eb80976 17/07/2012 52.09 -4.58
eb80976 18/07/2012 49.72 -5.56
eb80976 19/07/2012 51.59 -3.17
eb80976 20/07/2012 52.45 -2.03
eb80976 21/07/2012 56.015 -10.51",
header=TRUE)
library(maps)
map("world",xlim=c(-20,10),ylim=c(45,60))
mtext(side=3,cex=1.5,text="Migration of puffin eb80976",line=2)
lines(lsdf$Longitude,lsdf$Latitude)
library(plotrix)
boxed.labels(lsdf$Longitude,lsdf$Latitude,lsdf$Date,border="white",cex=0.7)
box()
axis(1)
axis(2)

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anyone suggest a visit to the CRAN
Spatial task view. This would be a good place to start learning how to work with
spatial data in R.
