Add USGS tileset options

[FishheadNate]

Expand map_service and map_type options to include U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) tilesets:

• USGS Hydro Cached

  basemap_ggplot(ext, map_service = "usgs", map_type = "hydro_cached") + theme_void()

  

• USGS Imagery Only

  basemap_magick(ext, map_service = "usgs", map_type = "imagery_only")

  

• USGS Imagery Topo

  basemap_magick(ext, map_service = "usgs", map_type = "imagery_topo")

  

• USGS Shaded Relief Only

  basemap_magick(ext, map_service = "usgs", map_type = "shaded_relief")

  

• USGS Topo

  basemap_magick(ext, map_service = "usgs", map_type = "topo")

Thank you for taking the time to add this tile service! Would be nice to have this in the package.

When testing this with the default ext object of basemaps, I am getting 404 errors. Is there a limitation on the zoom level for these tile servers?

library(basemaps)
data(ext)

set_defaults(map_service = "usgs", map_type = "imagery_topo")
basemap_ggplot(ext)
#> Loading basemap 'imagery_topo' from map service 'usgs'...
#>  |                                                                                                     | 0 % ~calculating  
#> Error: Tile download failed: HTTP error 404.

Also, when I check the start tile and end tile links at https://basemap.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/rest/services/USGSHydroCached/MapServer, I get 404 errors starting with Level 9.

Any ideas?

Hi Jakob - could that error be caused by the default ext object being in Europe, while the map tiles are for the USA?

I'll look into adding some parameters to limit the extent and zoom of the layers.
