Try using contour() instead of levelplot. See the examples
in help('contour') for how to add contour lines to an
existing plot.

I've generated a levelplot showing the density distribution of a species

No documentation for 'map' in specified packages and libraries:

So map uses base graphics.


I've tried plotting the map first, then using the options: 'add=TRUE,
axes=FALSE' in the levelplot,


levelplot is a lattice function. You will have failure with most efforts
to mix base and grid graphics.




but this doesn't work - a new plot is
generated for the level plot despite the 'add' option. If I try to add
the
map on top of the level plot, they are not to the same scale.

Any suggestions on how to get round this.

Thanks
