I would like to create a world map in R. I am a little familiar with ggmap , so I tried something like this:
ggmap(get_googlemap(center=c(83,25), zoom=1, scale=4, filename="world", size=c(640,300)))
It works fine when it comes to world.png .

I was very happy to find a workaround for ggmap "cannot show anything above 80 ° latitude", because of which it is more or less impossible to create maps of the whole world.
However, in R itself, that is, on the graphs, the map does not look as intended: 
This only happens when the map is rectangular (if the size attribute is set), and not a square (as by default).
Why? Is there a chance that this problem will be solved in the future? And what is the fastest way from here to the correct world map?
