printing output of google geomap as image using R

Question

I am using googlevis package to plot a geographic map. The output I get is HTML. Is it possible to generate jpg or png output?

If you're using Google Maps this is against the Terms of Service (which do not allow creating a derivative work). The correct way getting a jpeg or PNG image is via the Static Maps API. — Andrew Leach, May 16 '12 at 06:57

Following Andrew tip I suggest to take a look at the RgoogleMaps package. It seems to provide what you are looking for.

You could also try the osmar package which uses the data from OpenStreetMap.
