Region bounding box — region

Returns an approximate latitude/longitude bounding box for a US state (or "DC"), used as a fast sanity guard on geocoded coordinates. Presets are deliberately a little generous so legitimate edge locations are not rejected; they are coarse guard boxes, not precise boundaries. For a tighter or non-state region, pass your own named vector, or derive one from an sf layer with bbox_from_sf().

Usage

region_bbox(region = "NJ")

Arguments

region: Two-letter US state abbreviation (or "DC"), case-insensitive. Defaults to "NJ".

Value

A named numeric vector with elements lat_min, lat_max, lon_min, lon_max.

Examples

region_bbox("NJ")
#> lat_min lat_max lon_min lon_max 
#>    38.8    41.4   -75.7   -73.8 
region_bbox("CA")
#> lat_min lat_max lon_min lon_max 
#>    32.5    42.1  -124.5  -114.1
