Related to this, sp2tmap has been added to the R package maptools. From the help file
Description:
The function converts a SpatialPolygons object for use with the
Stata tmap command, by creating a data frame with the required
columns.

Bill Gould and I have written an FAQ "How do I graph data onto a map?"
which is now available at
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/graphics/tmap.html
The purpose of the FAQ is to provide an introduction into Maurizio Pisati's
-tmap- command, and to provide step-by-step instructions for using it.
Along with that, I have written a new command -shp2dta- that converts ESRI
Shapefiles into the .dta format required by -tmap-. That program is available
via SSC. Instructions for installing all the software you need can be found in
the FAQ.
Another useful resource for -tmap- is Friedrich Huebler's blog at
