Whoa! All bets are off! plotGoogleMaps generates overlays on an HTML 
page linked to Google Maps. This is way off what you do with R graphics 
devices. Your best bet is to search:

pie chart google maps

on Google and start reading. I have used plotGoogleMaps, but never put 
pie charts on them, and I really don't have time to learn how at the moment.
