longitude, latitude, and heat value

gstat

In general this is called interpolation, where you create a raster based
on known point values that is a continuous surface. Once you generate
the surface you can plot it applying an appropriate color ramp.

There are many types of interpolation, start with IDW as it's easiest to
understand. Depending on the distribution of your points you may need to
move onto more advanced algorithms.

Outside of R this can also be done easily with SAGA, GRASS, or QGIS.

Enjoy,
