Neat. Things you might like to do include: 1. Adding a background image, either OpenStreetMap via my "webmaps" package, or get Ordnance Survey raster data. You may have to transform from lat-long to OSgrid ref, but that's all in the spTransform package. 2. Make a web-based animation like this: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Chicas/WeeklyCJejuni/ using my animation framework: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Chicas/DIY/ 3. Check out the Spatial Task View on CRAN and get to know the packages: sp, spTransform, rgdal, raster. 4. Show us your code? > I'm loving learning R. Very cool.
