R offers a variety of powerful tools for mapping geospatial data, but one of the most impressive tools for ease and efficiency is the mapview package. While I have used packages like leaflet for intricate customizations and tmap for a balance of power and usability, I’ve recently started to enjoy the simplicity that mapview brings to the table. The package allows users to quickly explore geospatial data or create rapid prototypes with minimal code—just one function and two arguments, and you’re ready to go. For example, with just a simple line of code like mapview(all_data, zcol = “PctChange10_20”), mapview generates…
