Plotting points on a map

Hello all,

I have some points, (longitudes and latitudes) placed in germany/european union. I want to plot them with an underlying outline of the country/countries.

Currently I am using plots with the gr backend, and it would be awesome if I could get using plots it. But any help, using other packages aswell would be very helpfull.

Thanks in advance

Thanks to both of you for the reply. I manged to get a plot using gmt. The code I used is

coast(
    region="0/30/20/60+r", 
    proj=(name=:laea, center=[10,50]), 
    frame=:ag, 
    res=:low,
    area=500, 
    shore=:thin, 
    borders=1,
    
    # outline germany in red
    DCW=((country="DE", 
            pen=(1,:red))),
    figsize=10
)
GMT.scatter!(
    longitudes, latitudes, 
    fmt=:png, 
    marker=:circle,
    markeredgecolor=0, 
    size=0.1, 
    markerfacecolor=:cyan, 
    show=true
)

Does anyone have an idea how to make convert this to a histogram style plot? Colorcoding the amount of points rather than plotting all of them individually?

Try the blockmean module to compute the 2D histogram (use the statistics option) grid and use it like in this bar3D example
