I got a Garmin watch recently and went a rabbit hole trying to recreate its data viz in ggplot. It's so different from making regular report/dashboard plots! Recreating things made with other technologies is a great way to learn! Link:

Just merged a PR in {mapgl} introducing some long-awaited updates to the layers control. It now has an improved appearance that takes up less space by default, and you can customize its position and styling as well! Install from GitHub to try now; it'll be in the next CRAN release.
