Get weather based on GPS location for your carpc

I have wireless broadband for my car.   I also have a gps unit.  So I decide to combine the two and get current weather (well not second by second but relativly current.)  I wrote a program for Linux in Python using wxpython and the python-gps libraries.  It basically contacts noaa and requests the weather based on the location retrieved from your gps.

I wrote this for carPCs but I guess you could use it on a laptop while you are traveling.
