With the rgl package it’s possible to interact with the 3d visualization of the timespace tracks.
Code example:
plot3d(lon,lat,timedate, xlim=range(lon), ylim=range(lat), zlim=range(timedate), ticktype=”detailed”, xlab=”longitude”, ylab=”latitude”, zlab=”Date”, col= as.POSIXlt(daten[,"Date"])$mday, type=”l”, main=plottitle)
In the posted example individual waypoints were added by drawing vertical lines.
