different map with mapCountryData?
<p>with the code below, using mapCountryData function I'm able to generate nice map with some countries painted in red:</p>

<pre><code>&gt; d &lt;- data.frame(country=c("Greece", "France", "Germany", "Italy", "Norway", "Spain", "Netherlands"), value=c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1))
&gt; n &lt;- joinCountryData2Map(d, joinCode="NAME", nameJoinColumn="country")
&gt; mapCountryData(n, nameColumnToPlot = "value", catMethod = "categorical", mapRegion="Europe", oceanCol = "white", missingCountryCol="light grey", borderCol = "white")
</code></pre>

<p>The only thing that I want to change is the map resolution, to have something like below, generated through simple get_map function:</p>

<pre><code>&gt; newmap &lt;- getMap(resolution="low")
&gt; plot(newmap, xlim = c(-20, 59), ylim = c(35, 71), asp = 1)
</code></pre>

<p>The second map, not colored, is more detailed (shore line, borders, islands etc) and I'd like to use this map instead of generic one from mapCountryData.</p>

<p>Is it possible to use it with mapCountryData?
If not, if it possible to color it somehow? Maybe a link? I did some research but all available tutorials/manuals online seems to use the first one, generic map.</p>

<p>thanks in advance</p>
