Display a point on earth on a Google Map

Creates a URL for Google Maps for a particular latitude and longitude position. This function has been deprecated due to changes in Google's access policies. Give leaflet_map() a try as an alternative.

googleMap(
  latitude,
  longitude,
  position = NULL,
  zoom = 12,
  maptype = c("roadmap", "satellite", "terrain", "hybrid"),
  mark = FALSE,
  radius = 0,
  browse = TRUE,
  ...
)
