      Why Campos do Jordão, SP, Brasil's name is not displayed in the map, but way smaller cities around are?
      The city name should be added to Windy map, which by the way, is excellent! Thanks.

        @HannaPer Dear user, we do not generate our own maps, instead we use maps from OpenStreetMap.org and we have no direct control over them. If users spot any issue with the map or a wrong name, they can visit OSM and correct it there. Corrections will be later projected on Windy.com.

          @Korina That is weird! The location cited by HannaPer is a medium size city and it IS correctly assigned in OSM... It must be some kind of issue in Windy plataform itself.

            @Evandro-Ziggiatti-Monteiro And you can't find the city in our app at all?

              @Suty It can be found in the app and website, and is available in the search menu, but the map doesn't display its name and forecasted temperature until it's zoomed so far in that only the base map is displayed (without a temperature). This all while cities much smaller (incl. S. Bento do Sapucaí, Sapucaí-Mirim, and S. Bento do Pinhal) are displayed normally long before C.d.Jordão. This might be the source of the confusion.

                @Gustavobc You are right that this city is not visible on the map with higher zoom level, however, you can find the city by the search field and also you can pin it as a favorite one. The reason for no label on the map is certain system that displays cities in a grid, so the map is equally covered by labels. You can see this on much bigger cities in India for example, where large cities are not displayed in higher zoom levels, because they are very close to each other.
