I don't understand what you mean by "too small", and you haven't provided a reproducible example.

The map will be as large as the default graphics window on your screen will allow (leaving room for axes and labels as well).

If you are not happy with this, try something like:

x11(width=30, height=18)
map_world()

Otherwise, you will need to describe exactly what you mean by "really too small to show the data effectively" and provide a reproducible example.

I am fairly new to R and am plotting flight data on a map. Everything is
working well except the size of the map is really too small to show the data

larger. Do I need to change the device characteristics or is it a map.???
