Update (8 May 2011):<\/strong> I revisited this a year later to make a version that you can try online with your own Latitude data<\/a>
\nUpdate (15 Jan 2012):<\/strong> A fixed version of the code<\/a> to handle the new Google Latitude file format.<\/p>\n

Google Latitude<\/a> is starting to get very interesting. The new dashboard<\/a> lets you see some graphs of how much time you spend at work, home, and out and about, and a list of your most visited places. <\/p>\n

You can also see a Google Map with your 500 latest updates added as pushpins. <\/p>\n

I had a random idea<\/a> while looking at it this evening – why don’t they let you see all<\/strong> your updates on a map, in a heatmap that shows where you’ve been?<\/p>\n

Naturally, once I had the idea, I had to give it a quick try. <\/p>\n

This is the result<\/a>:<\/p>\n
