Description

Wouldn't mind updating and fleshing that out a bit more with additional examples. We both like the mapdeck package, and I think the tmap package provides a great high level api for quick maps that people would find useful. Any others that you would want to include?

Downsides include needing to configure a couple of things - mapdeck, for ex, requires a mapbox api key. We can simply not compile those examples on CRAN, like we do elsewhere, but would need to set it up for CI on github. Easy enough.

Research direction

Locate the making maps vignette and review its existing examples first. Then examine how CRAN-excluded examples and GitHub CI are configured, and assess examples using mapdeck and tmap, including mapbox API key handling. Done means the vignette has useful additional examples and the relevant checks run reliably in CI without blocking CRAN.
