(US) National Weather Service does KML

Friday, August 19, 2005 (15:58 UTC)

It's not the most stunning use of KML ever, but it did get a mention on Slashdot: The Tulsa forecasting office of the NWS is now offering local forecast files wth maximum and minimum temperatures in KML.

Some of the scraping efforts already undertaken by the amateurs are truly useful, but it's good to see government agencies adopting the format and deeming Google Earth as a popular enough platform to start publishing to. (Thanks, Ron)
