Dear UseRs, I'm using the library maps. I'm drawing maps of Italy. The map available for this library were prepared around *1989*: "This italy database comes from the NUTS III (Tertiary Administrative Units of the European Community) database of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) GRID-Geneva data sets. These were prepared around *1989*" [cited: help("italy")]. The details of this map is by "province", which is not maybe optimal, but is OK. However, after 1989 many new province are born. So for example the new provincia of Rimini has born and the sardinan Island has doubled them.
Some of you do know how to get upgraded maps of italy? I think it would useful for all Italian mapers. The second question is as follow: Italy is subdivided in "regioni". Each "regione" is a set of many province; so, if I want to plot map region-based index, how can I omit the borders of prince belonging to the same "regione"? so, how plot maps to a higher unit level?
