Description

Hello,

I don't know if this is the appropriate forum to submit feature requests, but...

Would it be possible to develop a "progress bar" option for ggmap::geocode() and the related ggmap::mutate_geocode(), perhaps something similar to the progress bar returned by tidygeocoder::geocode()? This would help with managing workflow when attempting to geocode batches of addresses. Thanks!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how tidygeocoder implements progress bars, then add a similar progress bar option to ggmap::geocode() using e.g., progress package or utils::txtProgressBar.
