Nearest Roads

Takes up to 100 independent coordinates and returns the closest road segment for each point. The points passed do not need to be part of a continuous path.

google_nearestRoads(df_points, lat = NULL, lon = NULL,
  simplify = TRUE, curl_proxy = NULL, key = get_api_key("roads"))

Arguments

df_points	data.frame with at least two columns specifying the latitude & longitude coordinates, with a maximum of 100 pairs of coordinates.
lat	string specifying the column of df_path containing the 'latitude' coordinates. If left NULL, a best-guess will be made
lon	string specifying the column of df_path containing the 'longitude' coordinates. If left NULL, a best-guess will be made
simplify	logical - TRUE indicates the returned JSON will be coerced into a list. FALSE indicates the returend JSON will be returned as a string
curl_proxy	a curl proxy object
key	string A valid Google Developers Places API key
