I like the idea of visiting Google Maps, for example, and being able to toggle snippets of this kind of weather data onto the map itself. Other useful, one-click, toggles could include:
1. Real Estate Listings for a given area
2. Demographics
3. Forecasts & Historical weather info
4. Crime data
5. Local Events
6. Low-bandwidth settings
7. Access to publicly available real-time streaming cameras
- maxerickson 10y agoIf you are in the US, you can add a kmz to Google Earth to get some of the weather stuff: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/gis/kmlpage.htm http://www.nws.noaa.gov/gis/kmlpage.htm
- knz 10y agoThe issue is data accuracy/normalization and availability especially for data sets like crime data and local events. Real estate would be a little easier via the MLS (I suspect the cost is prohibitive though) and demographic data is easily available.
