R visual · Draw connecting line between two points

Hello,

 

I need to create a map that shows the connection between two points (both airports). 

Origin / Destination airport must be from different tables.

 

R libraries: maps / geosphere / magritt

 

The main problem that I have is that the script in PowerBI doesn't draw both points, but in R-Studio works fine.

R code of R visual:

library(maps)
library(geosphere)
library(magrittr)

map("world", xlim=c(-10,5),ylim=c(35,44) ,col="#1a2732", bg="white", fill=TRUE, lty = 0, interior = false,mar = c(0.1, 0.1, 0, 0.1))

OrigenDataset <-dataset [c(1,2,3,4)]
DestinoDataset <-dataset [c(5,6,7,8)]

O.Lat <- OrigenDataset$O.Latitude
O.Lon <- OrigenDataset$O.Longitude

D.Lat <- DestinoDataset$D.Latitude
D.Lon <- DestinoDataset$D.Longitude

OrigenPunto <- c(O.Lon,O.Lat)
DestinoPunto <- c(D.Lon,D.Lat)

p1 <- c(O.Lon,D.Lon)
p2 <- c(O.Lat,D.Lat)

points(x=p1, y=p2, col="#96ce00", cex=2, pch=20)

# Connection between Barcelona, Madrid
#inter <- gcIntermediate(OrigenPunto, DestinoPunto, n=50, addStartEnd=TRUE, breakAtDateLine=F)             
#lines(inter, col="#96ce00", lwd=2)

The final purpose is to draw a line between the two airports.

 

Please... help.

 

Thanks 🙂

I have found the solution:

 

library(maps)
library(geosphere)
library(magrittr)

Punto1 <- c(dataset$O.Lon,dataset$O.Lat)
Punto2 <- c(dataset$D.Lon,dataset$D.Lat)

map("world", xlim=c(-10,5),ylim=c(35,44) ,col="#1a2732", bg="white", fill=TRUE, lty = 0, interior = false,mar = c(0.1, 0.1, 0, 0.1))

points(x=dataset$O.Lon, y=dataset$O.Lat, col="#96ce00", cex=2, pch=20)
points(x=dataset$D.Lon, y=dataset$D.Lat, col="#96ce00", cex=2, pch=20)

inter <- gcIntermediate(Punto1, Punto2, n=50, addStartEnd=TRUE, breakAtDateLine=F)             
lines(inter, col="#96ce00", lwd=2)

The easiest one 🙂

It's not the same case. Australia's data is on the same dataframe-table, but my map needs as source two different tables... 😕

 

Thank you anyway 🙂
