        Please see the following posts about how the map data for Windy is sourced and displayed from www.openstreetmap.org:

        https://community.windy.com/topic/4649/how-to-correct-errors-in-the-base-maps

        https://community.windy.com/topic/5564/disputed-territories-on-windy

        Please also note: For every language, a different place name label can be displayed, so please choose your correct language and data display.

        Further discussion of place name and language issues or disputes should be directed to the OpenStreetMap Forum here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/index.php > scroll down & select > users: (the relevant country for your dispute and/or question)

        In the case of a political dispute please leave such topics out of the Windy forum and instead focus on the discussion of weather.

        Changes made in Open Street Maps do not occur instantly in Windy and will instead be updated periodically in the future.

        Thank you for your understanding :)

        WINDY is everywhere :)

              @jmh2002 There’s no dispute (anymore). The name of the country is (Republic of ) North Macedonia and it should be corrected on your maps. For more information here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Macedonia and here: https://www.un.org/en/about-us/member-states

                Please re-read my post and the associated links again so that you can have a more clear understanding of how and where the Map data in Windy comes from and how it is corrected and updated.

                There is no need for these types of posts in the forum demanding that Windy correct various Maps and Names.

                Additionally the subject has been raised literally hundreds of times in the past, so it's always good to search a forum before posting, especially for new or infrequent visitors.

                Thank you for your understanding.

                      Please try discussing or changing data on this thread, and Windy.com will simply follow...

                      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
