      Was that intended?

      Doesn't seem like something you would want to be part of your application.

      Thank you

        Dear dmb575hillman

        What is written as place names are directly from "Leaflet" API.
        Thus, what you have specified/pointed out should be toward "Leaflet Map" and not to Windy.
        Also, most of the people world wide cannot see the difference between NYC and New York.

          Looks like OpenStreetMap was vandalized. I guess it will be fixed in next map update.
