• removed dependency on maptools: the respective examples in PlotPolysOnStaticMap were removed
• removed dependency on sp: (i) functions DF2SpatialPointsDataFrame and bubblemap were entirely removed, (ii) copied sp::bbox into a new sp_bbox function, (iii) replaced xy = sp::coordinates(xy) in SpatialToPBS.R with xy = xy@coords, (iv) replaced data sets with sp classes with sf: NYleukemia$spatial.polygon = st_as_sf(NYleukemia$spatial.polygon), pennLC$spatial.polygon = st_as_sf(pennLC$spatial.polygon)

RgoogleMaps 1.2.0 (2012-03-15)
