Hello,



I'm looking for a developer to create a heat map for the Android MapView. The premise of this map is an easy, visual representation of where many individual objects are.



There is already a great framework for creating a HeatMap overlay on a Google map, called gHeat . That's exactly what I'm looking for, but on the Android phone. It's open source under the MIT License and I'm sure it would not be very difficult to port to android. Here's the catch: the images to be displayed on the phone should be generated on the phone from a set of points (not server-side).



So the project is an Android experience which can take in an array of map points from an external source (ie from an http request), and plot them on the map in heat map form. The experience will have to change based on the level of zoom for the map (just like the gHeat example). For instance, looking at a map of Europe, cities might show up red (for a high population density), but zooming into an individual town, the heat mappings would change to show say a specific neighborhood in red. So the mapping has to be dynamic based on the total number of points in view at any given time.



Deliverables for the project are only the MapView and heat mapping overlay itself, but we can of course discuss other aspects as well.



Thanks,

-Rob
