Weatherbonk Google Maps mashup goes 2.0 with awesome new features

Geo-developer David Schorr shares what his team is up to for the next revision of his weather maps mashup: Weatherbonk 2.0

Weatherbonk is an innovative web 2.0 application that provides highly contextualized relevant weather information for people from around the world. It was one of the first serious Google Maps mashups to hit the web and still, to this day, remains as one of my top picks. It's also one of the stickiest, most useful and relevant Google Maps mashups to a wider global audience. Weatherbonk works in a location-based format centering on your home location providing you with heaps of weather information for your area, mashed up from over 20 different weather data sources. Explore around the world using other features to research a trip or learn more about the earth's changing weather patterns.
