Bug in maps module

[sckott]

A pygbif user emailed me today, and I reproduced the error in the maps module.

from pygbif import maps
out = maps.map(taxonKey = 2435098)
out.plot()

gives the error

In [7]:         out.plot()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 out.plot()

~/github/sckott/pygbif/pygbif/maps/map.py in plot(self)
    216
    217     def plot(self):
--> 218         plt.show(self.img)
    219

TypeError: show() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

I changed this line https://github.com/gbif/pygbif/blob/master/pygbif/maps/map.py#L218 to be plt.show() and it then worked. I'm not sure if that's the best way to fix it
