How to get Stamen background with political boundaries

23 views Asked by birdy448 At 03 February 2024 at 19:05

I once made a background map with political boundaries as follows:

myMap = get_stamenmap(bbox = myLocation, zoom = 4, maptype = "terrain-background")

and all was right with the world.

Now I need to recreate the map but 'get_stamenmap' has depreciated. Now I can use:

myMap = get_stadiamap(bbox = myLocation, zoom = 4, maptype = "stamen_terrain_background")

to get a backgroud map with no political borders. And I can use

myMapLines = get_stadiamap(bbox = myLocation, zoom = 4, maptype = "stamen_terrain_lines")

to get a map of political borders with no background. But I cannot figure how how to combine the two.

myMap1 \<- ggmap(myMap) + ggmap(myMapLines)

does not work. How do I put Humpty Dumpty back together?
