Google Static Maps • Upsides • Relatively quick • Good for including in blogs etc • Downsides • Can only do a one or a few individuals • Not that customisable
Three different methods • Google Static Maps • KML in Google Earth • R package maprec
KML in Google Earth http://www.earthpoint.us/ExcelToKml.aspx
KML in Google Earth • Upsides • Quite easy to do • Interactive – eg zoom in, look at labels • Downsides • Quite a bit of typing (though can copy and paste) • Not so good for printing • Limit of 200 points (so fewer recoveries)
Three different methods • Google Static Maps • Google Maps/Google Earth • R package maprec
Using maprec in R • Upsides • Very flexible and customisable • Good for printing • You can save the code in a file and re-run it later, perhaps with another (or updated) dataset • Downsides • Need to install, set-up and learn (at least a bit ) R • Need a reasonably good computer and need to do some typing
