qmap(location, zoom = 14, source = "osm", scale = 20000)
qmap(location, zoom = 14, maptype = "satellite")
qmap(location, zoom = 14, maptype = "hybrid")
qmap(location, zoom = 14, maptype = "stamen_toner", source = "stadia")
qmap(location, zoom = 14, maptype = "stamen_watercolor", source = "stadia")
qmap(location, zoom = 14, maptype = "stamen_terrain_background", source = "stadia")
qmap(location, zoom = 14, maptype = "stamen_toner_lite", source = "stadia")

where <- "the white house, washington dc"
