Hi All, Does anybody know of any existing functions that will calculate distance inland from a coastline?
It's possible to test if a lon,lat location is land or sea using map.where(), but I need to add a buffer to this of say 2km, to allow for points that are just on the coast, and below the resolution of the worldHires database. I'm working with a marine mammal satellite telemetry dataset and wish to filter out spurious locations on land. On another issue, does anybody know of any free vector map datasets that are more up to date and have a higher resolution than the worldHires database from the 'maps' package.
