I rated this extension as good, for the ease of use and easy install. It was quick and easy, and easy to configure. The two things I did not like-
"Weather Bonk" Live Conditions Icon, I wanted just straight GMAP.
The sizing of the map- It's hard to display this in left and right modules, it's may be Google's Map is way to small for the 200-250 px, you have, may not be a developer issue.
Other than that, she is great at least I can find a way to use the module in another way!

This mod is a nice, straight forward addon to anyone's site. I changed the default location to United States and it happily loads a Google map with color based temperatures of prominent cities. Drilling down by the down by the zoom control or simply double clicking it the same a any other Google map and gives more cities and weather summaries. Summaries are clickable to Weatherbonk.com and opens in a separate window/tab. It seems to have a size limit of about 800 x 600 which may be a small draw back. Also it would be nice to be able to allow settings for the type of map it draws (map/satellite/hybrid).
All in all a very nice addition to anyone's site not developing for dialup.
