similar to: latitude and longitude distribution

Dear R-helpers, I get GPS readings with bug counts (bugs meaning insects in this case) made along rows in crop fields and use these to make maps of bug distribution. The GPS readings are not quite accurate enough for my purpose, so since I know what row each reading is made in, I adjust the latitudinal coordinate using: grd<-lm(lat~lon+Row,data)

hi, i have a longitude vector (x) a latitude vector (y) and a matrix of bathymetry (z) with the dimensions (x,y). I have already succeeded in plotting it with the image.plot (package 'field') and the contour functions. But now, I want to make a grid in order to extract easily the bathymetry corresponding to a couple of longitude, latitude coordinates. Do you know a function or a

Hi All, I''m having a problem with Rails truncating latitude and longitude values. In my database (mySQL) table, my lat/lng columns are defined as Decimal(25,20), but I get different precision values depending on what I do. If I post, via XML, a value of 37.436490000000006 to my controller, what gets inserted into the db table is 37.43648999999999900000. Then, when I fetch the record in a

I see several mapping libraries but cannot find how to do a simple task. Starting with a vector of zip codes (in the United States and in Canada) I would like to automatically lookup the corresponding coordinates. Can you suggest a package and function that I should turn to? I would also like to automatically pull in the altitude, and some climate data. -- Farrel Buchinsky [[alternative HTML

I am trying to set up a Grass project and need to set up the region so that I can view the map. I can look at a map and find the lat/lon, but the map projection is in UTM NAD38 WGS84 and I need to set the eastings and northings. Is there a package that will help me calculate this in R. thanks -- Stephen Sefick Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so little

Hi Team, Need your guidance in building SPDF objects from Latitude, Longitude Information available. I am using package "plotGoogleMaps" which is really awesome but it requires SPDF objects to build the maps. I have a data frame which have Latitude and Longitude information and wanted to convert it in SPDF for making maps. Please help me to find suitable package or function to convert

Hi All, I have a data frame with three columns i.e., pc, lat, lon. The pc column is populated with list of postcodes, and I want to execute R command that can get me the lat and lon for the every item in the pc column and populate the respective lat and lon columns. Is there any package that could be used? Any help will be really appreciated. Many Thanks and Kind Regards -- Muhammad

I have a dataset giving traffic between pairs of ports, and the lat/lon of each port, roughly as follows: sample data as follows > df2VisitTrips[1:4,] Origin Destination NumberOfTrips OriginLatitude OriginLongitude DestinationLatitude DestinationLongitude 1 P1 P16 1 39.45965 -80.15633 40.76111 -79.54583 2 P1 P3

Hello, This is probably very simple but I am trying to select a region from the OIv2 SST dataset that crosses 0 longitude. The longitude variable is arranged from 0 to 360 and I get an error message when trying to go from 330 to 30 for example. The data are from a NOAA netCDF file. *temp = open.ncdf("c:/documents and settings/theoni/desktop/sstoi_v2.nc") print(temp) y1 = get.var.ncdf(

Hi all, I would like to know a way of calculating the distance between 2 points when I already have the longitude and latitude of the points. For example : Point 1 : 52? 9'54.00"N 4?25'8.40"E Point 2 : 52?27'46.80"N 4?33'18.00"E Distance between point 1 and point in km .... Is there any functions already available for this ? Any help will be much

Does anyone have any experience retrieving latitutde and longitude for an address from the Google Maps API? I'd like to have an R script that submits a street address, city, state, and zip code and returns the coordinates. So far, I've been submitting the coordinates from another program, then loading the coordinates in R and merging them back into the data frame I want to use.

Dear all, I have been trying to convert coordinates from longitude/latitude to utm but I got an error. As soon as the longitude coordinate is greater than 90, I get the folloowing error message: "error in pj_transform: latitude or longitude exceeded limits" Here is what I did: SP<-SpatialPoints(cbind(126.59,-14.30),proj4string=CRS("+proj=longlat"))

Hi, is there a function in R to convert data read with read.shape and which is originally in UTM coordinates into longitude / latitude coordinates? I found the convUL() function from the PBSmapping package but I have no idea how I could apply that to the read.shape object.
