A new GISuser How to - creating heat maps and a heatmap API for google maps

This tip for a how to reference comes to me via Geospatial Analytics Inc. A heat map is a graphical representation of three dimensional data (X, Y and Value) on a two dimensional surface by using colors. How can I create a heat map? Perhaps you've asked this... here's one clever solution and an API thats freely available for you to use. Using the HeatMap API users can use it over the Internet or as a .NET DLL to run in your environment. You can also integrate heat map images into Google Maps or other GIS systems. Check out details of this heat map solution and a pointer to the API at http://www.gisuser.com/content/view/11371/ See also http://www.heatmapapi.com/
