When viewing a heatmap that is very busy, it completely covers the map behind it. It would be nice to have a _transparency_ setting on the heatmap so that it was still possible to see the streets below the data. For example, in the image below, there are lots of streets covered by the red dot, and I would like to be able to see the roads beneath the blob.
