A dataset with a destination and a route to that destination. Note that the route is fictionalized from the book, and modified to be aesthetically pleasing, rather than nautically accurate.

Usage

route

Format

sf/tibble/dataframe, with a single variable to join to the 'places' data set (if desired).

Destination

The name of locations used in the book. Can be used to join to the "places" dataset to get dates of travel.

geometry

a sf linestring, from the previous destination to the current one.

Examples

data(route)

places <- sf::st_drop_geometry(places)
route <- dplyr::left_join(
  route,
  sf::st_drop_geometry(places),
  by = c('destination' = 'location_english')
  )


library(ggplot2)
ggplot() +
 geom_sf(data = route, aes(color = date_arrive)) +
