9 years ago The first time I opened sba.gov on my phone, chrome asked if I wanted to allow SBA.gov to use my location. I did allow & the dc weather displayed.
Today the same prompt happened and I thought I hit allow again but it did not display and I couldn't figure out how to revisit that preference. (I'm questioning if that was an actual bug or I just made a mistake and hit the wrong thing). I did try reloading the site and still wasn't reprompted about the location preference.
When I got to use case 2.2, I entered a zip code which pulled up local SBA locations AND it started displaying weather based on the provided zip.
Device Make: Samsung Galaxy S5 Device OS: Android 5.0 Browser: Chrome 43.0.2357.93 Carrier: WiFi
Device Make: Apple Device Model: iPHone Device Operating System Version: 8.3 Browser: Safari Carrier (or WiFi): Wi Fi Severity: Low
Description: The test case was unclear, whether I was supposed to take action ("Add Your Location") or the browser was supposed to figure out where I was ("When you open SBA.gov your location and current temperature should display"). No city/state or weather appeared. I tried looking for an "Add Location" feature. Under the vertical dots, I found "SBA Near You", with the location image (sort of an ice cream cone?). I clicked that, and it said something like "geolocation turned off; enter a ZIP". So I entered a ZIP code thinking it would remember and show me weather, but it didn't. I thought maybe I needed to select a result, but that only tried to open maps.google.com.
Finally I gave up, because frankly, I'm not going to SBA.gov to get my local weather. I don't see the value in that feature and am fine without it.
UPDATE: Several steps later, I suddenly noticed that the location and weather were displaying. Not sure what changed. I had to enter the ZIP a couple of times, so not sure which page suddenly remembered it and applied it to the weather listing. Still not sure why I need that. I'd rather be able to sort SBA locations by distance....
