Well, the only way a map(..., add=TRUE) will work is if the original scale is 
in the order of latitude and longitude in degrees.  It is not clear exactly 
how the data you are plotting relates to the map you want.

If you just want the map as a 'background', then you will need to rescale one 
or other of the plots.

Hope this helps,
