When I download a large map within R (using the openstreetmap package) and I reproject the map (ideally to +proj=longlat - or at least I think I need that for my plot later on, prove me wrong), the map will always turn out distorted, making country labels etc. near the poles illegible. Is there a way to obtain such a map (ideally still in R) in such a way that you can still read the labels?
My code looks similar to this:
library(openstreetmap) map
