      Hi. For any airports forecast comparisons that I bookmark, e.g. for Miami Intl Airport, when I then open the the bookmark, it just takes me to the forecast comparison of Miami itself rather than Miami airport. (also happens if I just refresh the page). Not sure if this is a UI glitch or an actual bug?

        @onbenik Hello, could you please specify steps what exactly you do? Also what device do you use?

          @Suty for example
          1: search miami international airport (KMIA)
          2: after clicking on it, scroll to bottom and click on Detailed weather forecast
          3: then click on Fast Model
          4: click on Compare forecasts
          5: now at the top it will show Miami International Airport. but if you refresh/revisit the page it only shows Florida

          using iphone 13

            @onbenik Okay, thank you. In this case, this is only about the naming the location. When you get to the forecast via the airport plugin, the name is still the same. But when you refresh the page, the app uses the location, so the search field uses basically the name of the location, like no airport is there.

              @Suty thanks for the explanation. I understand the underlying forecast data is the same, but the issue is that bookmarks or page refreshes no longer preserve the specific airport location, it just defaults to the city. this can be confusing, since I expect the bookmark to take me back to the exact location I selected.

              is there a way to make bookmarks and refreshes preserve the original location more accurately?

                @onbenik Probably not right now, but I will forward this as a bug to colleagues.
