I’m looking for some additional plot symbols. Here’s my code as it stands:

library(maps)
map('state', 'north carolina')
x <- c(-81.18668,-78.38062)
y <- c(35.7767,35.7767)
points(x=x, y=y)

What I’m looking for are plot symbols similar to those used on Google Maps, preferably those used in directions maps (ie, point A and point B).

Are there any packages out there with these symbols built in, or does anyone have an idea for a quick hack? Thanks!

EDIT: Looking for plotting symbols like those showing the two points here:

Basically, tear-drop shaped with labels (A and B).
