gps heat map using gps lat/long degrees

[capam]

I use the following US map. I would like to add to it gps lat/long coordinate in degrees to populate the US map with incident locations.

pattern v=e;
title 'US MAP Data set';

* use a SAS-supplied map data set (US) as both the map and response data sets;
proc gmap
	map=maps.us
	data=maps.us (obs=1)
	all;
	id state;
	choro state / nolegend;
run;

quit;

Typical gps lat/long degree inputs are:

50.512 -104.535
50.512 -104.535
50.512 -104.535
49.216 -122.848
49.216 -122.848
52.868 -122.431
52.870 -122.434
52.983 -122.485

You will have to convert lat, long to map coordinate x,y values to map onto the maps.us map data set.

There are several examples here http://support.sas.com/sassamples/graphgallery/PROC_GMAP_Graph_Elements_Annotation.html though these mostly use the maps.states map data set.

If your locations are in in cities you may want to consider attempting a look up from maps.uscity though longitude in that set is positive and increasing to the west.
