Craig's Live Paragliding Weather Map

Hi all,

There's a new paragliding weather site which can tell you where it's flyable - anywhere in the world. It mashes up paragliding site databases with current weather information to display all the information on a Google Map mashup.

http://www.ParaglidingMap.com

Background:
I travel a lot, and previously found it difficult to find flyable sites. When in places like Switzerland, it was pretty obvious that it was a good place to fly, but finding sites that were working right now was difficult. I built my own paragliding weather site to let me know where to fly, and soon all my friends were asking for logins. Instead, I decided to make the website open to the paragliding community.
