Table of geographic location names, and associated coordinates
Description
Lists geographic locations that can be input to findHost or
findParasite and the corresponding latitude and longitude coordinates
of the country's centroid. The georeferencing was performed dynamically using the
Google Maps API, but they have since restricted access. The data on locations is now
provided in this data file called locations – data(locations) – and is based on
an earlier usage of ggmap. The geographic coordinates may not be accurate, and users
should check for accuracy (and feel free to file an issue or PR on Github with corrections).
