Generating spatial heat map via ggmap in R based on a value
I'd like to generate a choropleth map using the following data points: Longitude Latitude Price Here is the dataset - https://www.dropbox.com/s/0s05cl34bko7ggm/sample_data.csv?dl=0 . I would like the map to show the areas where the price is higher and the where price is lower. It should most probably look like this (sample image): Here is my code: library(ggmap) map <- get_map(location = "austin", zoom = 9) data <- read.csv(file.choose(), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) data$average_rate_per_night <- as.numeric(gsub("[\\$,]", "", data$average_rate_per_night)) ggmap(map, extent = "device") + stat
