Mixing base/lattice graphics can be tricky, but is possible.

That could be quite useful in the future. Thanks for that.


Also, did you look at Chapter 13 of the lattice book?

I did look at the actual book, and upon doing so yet again, I would say that my comments were an accurate, if pithy, summary of the message I take away from what very little regarding base graphics appears in that chapter.

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
