Be able to create a variety types of static maps, including raster maps,
choropleth maps, and point maps
Know how to create interactive maps and simple map applications using
the shiny package
Be able to create facet maps and map animations to represent
spatiotemporal phenomenon
Know how to utilize  specific-purpose mapping packages to create
cartograms or grid maps
