Anders Eriksen sent me a tip about a great new Norwegian weather forecast mashup. The weather mashup has been developed for TV 2 Norway, with data from the Storm Weather Center in that country. Anders explains: "..The data is delivered via a so called Weather On Demand database, and you are able to click on the Google map everywhere in the world and get a forecast, wind, temperature etc. You can also playback an animation of weather symbols on the Google map, forecasting the next hours. The service is only available in Norwegian language thus far (with no plans for an English version anytime soon)." Here is an example for my home city of Waterloo, Ontario with meteogram, 10 day forecast, animation on Google Maps etc..
- Copenhagen Police Crime Mashup
- Mapping Mayors from 98 municipalities of Denmark (made with MIT SIMILE Exhibit 2.0)
- Mapping Monthly weather records since 1874 [Thanks to Soren Johannessen for these Danish mashups!]

Hey, ran into your blog from the Google Maps page. Seeing that you're a Google Maps fan, you would perhaps be interested in the post I wrote slobbering all over the Google maps teams quick moves during the Socal wildfire. Check it:

Cool site, by the way; I'm going to pour over this for useful maps. Is there a comprehensive directory of all the user-gen Google my maps that you k now of? Am I at it right now?
Hi Bryan,
To your question about there being a directory of Google My Maps, take a look at this post:

..It explains how you can find user-created content (which includes My Maps) by searching Google Maps.
