Demo 1- Map the retieved Localities that contains As

#mapview(localities_list_elems_inc(c("As")), xcol = "longitude", ycol = "latitude", crs = 4269, grid = FALSE)#"Dy","Li"

Demo 2- Map the retieved Localities within an given country

#mapview(localities_list_country(c("Sweden")), xcol = "longitude", ycol = "latitude", crs = 4269, grid = FALSE)

Demo 3- Map the retieved Localities that contains the input description.

#mapview(localities_list_description("volcano"), xcol = "longitude", ycol = "latitude", crs = 4269, grid = FALSE)

Demo 4- Map the retieved Localities that contains the input description.

#df_elements<-minerals_ima_list_ima(1)$type_localities
#df_out <- data.frame()
#for (elements in df_elements) {
#  elm_id_list <- as.list(elements)
#  for (elm in elm_id_list){
#    df_cur_locality <- localities_retrieve_id(elm)
#    df_out <- rbind(df_out,df_cur_locality)
#  }
#}
#df_out$longitude <- as.numeric(df_out$longitude)
