Turn Place Names into Map Data

Cartographer is a framework for easily matching spatial data when you have a list of standardised place names. You might have a data frame that came from a spreadsheet tracking some data by suburb or state. This package can convert it into a spatial data frame ready for plotting. The actual map data is provided by other packages (or your own code) that register the data with cartographer.
