One click and you're there.
Welllllll, it's two clicks because the first click is opening the bookmark that would've taken me to my local radar.
Albeit, that's very nitpicky and not the issue I have; 99.9% of users would click Use my location and it'd be perfect.
In my case, I just don't ever give location permissions on my web browser - while the BOM would surely to goodness not sell off usage data to third parties, I've been conditioned to think any website could and therefore I'd rather type in the location manually.
Fair enough. I too have, or had a bookmark to my local radar that no longer works. Mildly annoying, but I'll get over it.
Not sure why they needed to change it for viewing on a phone, though, if that's the reason. I never really had an issue doing that -- just pinch and zoom -- and there's the dedicated BOM app for those that didn't like it.
@Almacca @JustARegularNerd
Try adding reg. to the front of your radar link.
If you goto the bom site via reg.bom.gov.au then you get the original site. Navigate from there and everything should be as it was, because registered users needed things to not be f**ked around with i.e emergency services..
Legend!
