Google maps get weather

For anyone who is planning trip, things have got a lot easier because from now on anyone using Google maps will soon be getting some additional help from the Weather Channel, yes there will now be a weather report popping up on the map that you have just requested.

This is a natural expansion for the map feature, this will include the current weather conditions and the forecast for the area, this feature is probably the one that will be used most of all, as you will be travelling to the area and so need to know what the weather is going to be like when you get there.

There is also the feature where the user can adjust the forecast to suit their needs, like if the user is going fishing then the weather forecast for that particular area would be ideal. So when going on a long journey it should be possible to plan your route to the best weather.
