Definition of Heat Map
A heat map is a graphical representation of data where the individual values contained in a matrix are represented as colours.
From places.php the "Heat Map" link appears under the Search box. This seems to almost duplicate the functionality of the World Map Mod - except what places to show can't be chosen.
Visualization
Places
You can use the Heat Map button on the Places screen to get a Heat Map of places that are geocoded. Note that the Heat Map will not show places that do not have a latitude and longitude coded.
You can click on any of the numbers in the heat map to zoom in.
Surnames
You can use the Heat Map button on the Surnames search result screen to get a Heat Map of places the people with the surname lived, if the places are geocoded, i.e the places have a latitude and longitude assigned.
You can click on any of the numbers in the heat map to zoom in.
