Resolution would have to be very small...


some ideas:

v.kernel will produce a raster density map.

I seem to rememeber when Paul updated s.surf.idw the new method binned
the points first.. maybe this could be adapted.. (long shot)


another idea to show areas of high and low point coverage:

r.cost then r.mapcalc*res to make distance to nearest point map; smooth
with r.neighbors-mean with a big search window. Not a density map per
se, but if you make a fine grid it may give the meaning you are looking
for.


or write a new module?
