Using Berryweather does have a setback ,It doesn't have Radar yet.Those crying "we want radar maps" kick back a little and enjoy some custom radar image.
Customise Your Radar View
Radar link below fills entire Blackberry screen with Animated local radar.You make some simple changes to link below and such radar can be yours.
When those changes are made you will have customized local animated radar that fits your BB screen like a glove.
Load your custom link into QuickLaunch application or your Blackberry browser and bookmark.

Those that prefer Wunderground animated radar follow directions below

Zoom in & out of radar view 300 = Lowering number zooms in location/Higher number zooms out location
BB Screen size 320 =screen width 240 =screen Height < add extra 5 - 10 to screen height so icon on right side of radar image doesnt show on your BB screen.
Thank you! I use Quicklaunch and I was able to get this setup beautifully. Worked great. I made one link the 175 miles and the other 500 miles so I could see more of what's coming.

Thanks a lot!!! Excellant info. Mods should make this thread a "Sticky"!
This worked perfectly with Quicklaunch. Set one for 500 miles and one for 100 miles. See Bold 500 mile screenshot below(Bold is 480 X 320):

Just wanted to show how I set up Quicklaunch. I think this is probably a more efficient way to view animated and up-to-date radar than if Berryweather incorporated it (which would probably lead to a slew of battery and memory problems):
Works perfectly using the BlackBerry browser. It will not work using the others. Opera Mini shows the map, but no animation. Opera Mini does not show radar animation for my other radar sites, so I'm not surprised. Bolt browser displays an error. It will not connect to the site.
For people wishing they could ditch their BlackBerry browser, it pays to have it sometimes. This is definitely one of those times

I must be doing something wrong then, I just get a blue box when I put the co-ords for my location...
You cords may be off..maybe not inserting into link correctly...ive did it in the past.
Try Changing zoom number to 400 then work your way down to radar image displayed.
