Hi Karl, I installed QGIS and the optional GRASS 6.4.2 with the GDAL 1.9 framework and GSL, and agree this is much simpler than attempting to use R as a stand alone GIS. Very easy to load my data, pan, zoom and identify attributes of polygons.
Regarding integrating QGIS and R, is there a package or plugin I need to add. I noticed some comments on stackexchange regarding manageR, is this the best way to go? FYI, I am running R 2.14.0 on MacOS Lion.

I want to plot my map, then be able to pan and zoom, and chose several polygons to have their attributes identified (one at a time would be fine). I would recommend using QGIS instead of R for these kinds of tasks: http://www.qgis.org/ ItÂ’s very easy to use, and supports both panning, zooming and clicking to show polygon attributes (and has a whole lot of other useful features). You can even integrate QGIS and R. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
