I did google for ready-to-use heat maps for a while but the best thing I 
found was a commercial API.
I guess some GIS-Software can create such heat maps as well.
Have to say I was a bit shocked when you mentioned this as it took a 
while for me to get satisfying results with my own map generator.

The difficult part is that I'm not interested in a single heat map but 
in a separate map for each user.

My raw-date is way too big for the google limits of 250MB per account 
(100MB per table).

But anyway thanks for the hint, it might be useful for others or for 
different use cases.

Stephan
