I built this mash up for learning and fun during my days off. Any feedback will be appreciated to improve my project. http://jamafriend.com/LargeMap.aspx
I think it's pretty cool. It could be a great traveller-centered tool. Weather and local events/activities seem to be the primary causes of trip success.
As for if I would use it, it would depend on the format and the way the site/product was deployed. I have 3-5 travel centered mobile apps downloaded, but I never use them. I would be more likely to use it if it were positioned as a "get to know the world around you" device. I'm honestly not a cutting edge adopter for these things though, so my feedback may be more suited for a 2 or 3.0 rollout.
