R package move and move2

The R package move was launched in 2012. Recently an integral basis for move, the sp package, was being superseded, requiring the design of a successor, the move2 package (launched in 2023), allowing for improvement in speed and functionality through redesigning it from scratch, while integrating the experiences gained from its predecessor. The move2 package is designed to facilitate handling movement data by creating the move2 class object that extends the functionality of the sf package, facilitating import, manipulation, analysis, and visualization of movement tracks.
One of the main functionalities is the direct import of animal movement data from Movebank (www.movebank.org). However, move2 allows the integration of movement data sources of any provenance, providing a generic entry point for movement data analysis in R.
