I am looking for ideas about what bugs you and what you like about radar on the web. Any thoughts?
The lack of fluid viewport navigation bugs me most. You need fast panning and zooming. Also, any site that uses Java is out. That virtual machine kills me.
Thanks. Any more comments/concerns not mentioned already would be appreciated.

The size of the page. Sometimes all I have is my smart phone and it loads the large pages verrrrrrryyyyy slowly.
Pros: That the data is available at all!
Cons: Web radar is not user friendly and pretty much set to what the Web owner allows. Data servers: For reliable connections, must pay a nominal fee. NOAA public servers tend to get swamped during any kind of significant weather event.
I don't like the Java loops. I wish all the sites would go back to server-assembled GIFs. They load faster and can be saved easier.
That and the fact that some sites automatically close the radar loop window after x amount of time, forcing you to re-open it and re-download the loop. Anyone know the rationale behind this? Once the loop loads, there is no more bandwidth load for the host site. It's annoying for those slow connections where the loop takes a while to download. You don't have much time to view the loop before the window closes.
The thing that bugs me most is a few of the sites run very slow during active days.
