Error in readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) : cannot open the connection

Question

The 'mow.R' now contains:

library(RgoogleMaps);
png(filename="RgoogleMaps-package_%03d_med.png", width=480, height=480);

MyMap <- GetMap(markers='&40.702147,-74.015794,blues%7C40.711614,-74.012318,greeng%7C40.718217,-73.998284,redc', destfile="MyTile1.png");

This results in the following new error:

> source('mow.R')
[1] "Note that when center and zoom are not specified, no meta information on the map tile can be stored. This basically means that R cannot compute proper coordinates. You can still download the map tile and view it in R but overlays are not possible. Do you want to proceed ? (y/n)"

Error in readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In readChar(con, 5L, useBytes = TRUE) :
  cannot open compressed file 'MyTile1.png.rda', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

What's the way to correct this error?

Answer 1

Solved. Here's the working code:

library(RgoogleMaps);
png(filename="Rg.png", width=480, height=480);


lat    = c(40.702147,40.718217,40.711614);
lon    = c(-74.012318,-74.015794,-73.998284);
center = c(mean(lat), mean(lon));
zoom <- min(MaxZoom(range(lat), range(lon)));

MyMap <- GetMap(center=center, zoom=zoom, markers='&40.702147,-74.015794,blues%7C40.711614,-74.012318,greeng%7C40.718217,-73.998284,redc', destfile="My.png");

tmp <- PlotOnStaticMap(MyMap,lat=c(40.702147,40.711614,40.718217),lon=c(-74.015794,-74.012318,-73.998284),cex=1.5,pch=20,col=c('red', 'blue', 'green'),add=F);

dev.off();
