This database produce a map of New Zealand at a basic level of detail. The ‘"nz"’ database includes the 3 main Islands and 19 smaller coastal islands.
data(nzMapEnv)
The data file is merely a character string which
specifies the name of an environment variable which contains the
base location of the binary files used by the map drawing functions.
This environment variable (R_MAP_DATA_DIR
for the datasets in the
maps package) is set at package load time if it does not
already exist. Hence setting the environment variable before loading
the package can override the default location of the binary datasets.
