Geographical Heat Map
Veign:
Anyone know of anything around that lets me create, and manage, a heat map of the world. Its has to be an online solution that I can host locally on a web server - Google Map solution preferred.
The way I see it working is the map, or code, makes calls (Ajax) to the database to retrieve values for a square being viewed and displays a heat map overlay on the view. Some initial settings determine values corresponding to colors.
Anyone know of anything around?
edited: Should note that this is for a PHP / MySQL project.

My list of things bookmarked "for future study" on this topic are...

Density Mapping in Google Maps with HeatMapAPI « GeoChalkboard
Create a Heat Map with Your Own Data (& Embed on Your Site!)

Those are the same ones I've come acroos.
HeatMapAPI looks great but costs a fortune and not possible for a high traffic website.
gHeat is in Python - not something I've dealt with before and time is not on my side to learn.
http://imagine-it.org/google/geoiqmap.html - Doesn't work anymore and references HeatMapAPI
And the last references HeatMapAPI.
Hard to believe that HeatMapAPI is the only option, that no one else has done this before.
