I have the following code:
library(ggmap)
ggmap(get_map(location=c(lon = 5.218922, lat = 52.342366), zoom =14))
Which by my account should work fine, but I only get a standard ggplot2 image (grey background, etc), with the correct axis, but without the map shown:
When I look in my working directory I do find a file called "ggmapTemp" which has the correct map in it. But the map is not shown by ggplot2.
I work with RStudio and have limited rights on my work pc. Could this be the reason that the map is not shown correctly? My version of RStudio is 0.96.316 and R is R-2.15.1.

This means you probably need mapproj
as well as maps
to run your code, since these are suggested packages from ggplot
to enable correct map projections.
Try:
install.packages(c("mapproj", "maps"))
then rerun your code.
