At first, I kinda discounted your post, cos it's not points I need, but heatmap. But then on reflection, it's ideal as I can then use the clickheat php class to generate the heatmap. Convert the coordinates into x/y then it's just like generating a heatmap from clicks on a web page. Cheers

Now I just need to search around for how to convert lat/long to x/y, cos you've got to take into account the curvature of the earth. Damn maths *again*

Think I'll have a bash at this when my head is clearer and kids aren't running around like nutters.

Happy Christmas
