This final blog post is a must-read! The tutorial will guide you step-by-step how to plot and visualize an interactive map with your geospatioal data using leaflet library. We walk you through with an example on drawing the distribution of the water pumps in Kwale, Kenya with the openwashdata package waterpumpkwale.
