R Spatial Resources
I recently met up with someone who does geospatial stuff but uses the more traditional GIS software to do it. I showed him a few things in R but not being a person who does a lot of geospatial analysis I thought I’d ask the lovely #rspatial crowd what they’d recommend. Here are the compiled recommendations. Happy learning spatial R!
