      Hi, I am not sure what source data are you using to feed background map, but... when you take a look on labels on some cities in Poland they work not so well... Let me explain - Danzig is old german name for city of Gdańsk (City in Poland so should have polish name), same with Stettin (PL: Szczecin). When you zoom in to the Windy Tours Map than names are correct. Can You please check and correct.

        Hello, Windy.com uses maps from Open Street Map and we have no control over their data.
        In case you think that there is a place or a city with incorrect name/location, I should suggest you to report this directly to OSM community - www.OpenStreetMap.org, or you can even correct it by yourself.

            Hi Jakub, this can happen due to synchronisation between Windy and OSM. There will be a new update of OSM maps, so this difference will disappear. :)
