Cool, I want that for my home town as well!!!

...to be improved is that the scale of heat relative, ie the white is the visible maximum not the absolute, hence when you move on the card you cant not compare. Really, that's how to screw a visualization.

What's 'binned'?

"binned" is a remainder from the original description. it is often used in computer science as a virtual location to store media. I probably should have used another term.
