Ready for the weather

Posted by Jeff Martin, Product Marketing Manager

I'm headed to the mountains for the weekend, so I just checked the weather conditions for my route using one of my favorite sites, weatherbug.com. If you look up your local weather (or the weather of wherever you may be going this holiday weekend), you have the option to "change tracking station." This brings you to a great use of our Maps API -- a Google Map where you can choose from thousands of weather monitoring sites around the world. These micro-stations feed real-time temperature, wind, and precipitation data of the exact location you're looking for directly to your desktop.

Looks like I may encounter wind and some snow. I'll pack my chains and consider that a small price to pay for the predicted knee-deep powder tomorrow!
