How would one go about creating a heat map (say, of the US) based on location data from Google Analytics? I'd like to somehow create such a map with the visitor data from several websites that use Google Analytics. I'm not really looking for a step-by-step tutorial, just some suggestions on how to start. Assume little to no programming experience, but a willingness to learn and hack together stuff to make it work.

Why recreate the wheel?
Simply go to the site, then click Map Overlay and you should be able to click on a country and see a heatmap - You can copy and paste that. For example

If you need to actually generate your own from a whole set of data, I am not aware of any good tools to let you do it.

The Google Charts API for interactive charts includes a mapping function. It may do what you're looking for.
