uRuguayanMap

Inspired in @masalmon's blog post I made a beautiful map to show where I'm from.

Since people usually mix Uruguay and Paraguay up, I also made this other one :)

I used:

• ggmap package

• maps from:

  • Google:
    • URL : http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=uruguay&zoom=3&size=640x640&scale=2&maptype=terrain&sensor=false
    • Information from URL : http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=uruguay&sensor=false

• images from:

  • stamen.com:
