Use sf instead of sp?
This would be very nice. sf made this little example much easier to accomplish. Happy to help if I can. It might be as simple as converting everything and resaving the data files. Or, we could add an argument for class of returned data.
How about initially along with (these are "live")?
-
counties_sf: Retreive a U.S. county composite map, optionally with a projection, as a simplefeature -
usa_sf: Retreive a U.S. state composite map, optionally with a projection, as a simplefeature
Granted this isn't on CRAN so wiping & loading would be possible. Has a geom_sf() stabilized somewhere?
lemme add some examples for that to the README and if there is still work to be done in the geom I can try to poke at but it turns out having a full time job and teaching two different college courses is actually a major time eradicator #whoknew?! :-)

@hrbrmstr sure, no problems. I might also have time to contribute some fixes as I'm using this in a class that I'm co-teaching.
And generally, I'd be tempted to just drop sp support altogether — sf is so much easier, and since this is not on CRAN yet, you're unlikely to break much existing code.
