        Hello @cosmorkator, we are aware of these locations around the world. However, this problem should be addressed to Open Street Map, since we use their maps and have no control over them.

          OpenStreetMaps has changed the country name, many years now.
          Severna Makedonija - North Macedonia.

          Also Windy maps

          When in Windy, please go to "more layers", "outdoor map"
          d7206880-1c81-4aea-b420-418b32afd1d4-εικόνα.png

          and you'll realize that in the aerial map you have the name "Macedonia" while in outdoor map you name it correctly "North Macedonia"

          but you have not updated the base map yet.

          For one more time I would like to bring your attention to the fact that there is no naming dispute for North Macedonia.

            Hi @Gkikas-LGPZ, sorry my bad, I should have checked that better.

            We plan to update base maps after other features we are working on are done. Right now we work on 3D view, new features for Premium users,...

            Thank you for your understanding.

            Petra
