Heat map from latitude & longitude

I want to generate heat map from a set of data which is latitude & longitude. I've 20,000+ latitude & longitudes in a text file.

Can any one tell me how to generate heat map?

I'll appreciate if some one can provide me free version of heat map.

Thanks!

How is heat map calculated?

The colors in the MITRE heat maps are calculated based on the number of rule mappings to a tactic or technique plus the level of mapping confidence (low, medium, or high). The more rules that map to the technique, the darker the hue of color.

There's an open source library called heatmap.js which might work for you. It's HTML5 based so won't work in older browsers though. They also have a GMaps Heatmap Overlay, so it's fairly plug and play.

Simpleheatmap.com will let you plot latitude & longitude coordinates on an interactive heatmap for free. No limit on the number of lat/lon pairs you can plot, though as of the time of this writing it's in beta so that might change. The site also has the ability to geocode addresses and other geographic data and plot them as well, but there are limits on how many geocoding attempts you can make.
