      Hello,
      I noticed that the names of « lieux-dits » and « hameaux » are not shown in some areas whereas they are in others.
      For example, in France

      • around the village of Chalmazel (42920) all names of lieux-dits and hameaux are displayed
      • but around the village of Cremeaux (42260) and others, no names of lieux-dits and hameaux are shown.
        Why ?
        How can I correct it?
        Is there an option to active?
        Thank you.
        Regards

        Hello @alain-gallet, we are aware of potential map errors around the world. However, this problem should be addressed to Open Street Map, since we use their maps and have no control over them.

        Once the map is corrected on OSM, it takes some time for the changes to be reflected in the application as well.

          Hello,
          Will you contact OSM to complete the maps with the location names of the lieux-dits and hameaux ?
          Regards

            @alain-gallet Hello, the OSM maps are fully operated by its contributors, we have no control over those maps.

              Hello,
              I have noticed that some locations are actually reported on the map of Windy Maps but are not on the map of OSM. I also noticed some variations of the names of locations and icons between Windy Maps and OSM. How is this possible ?
              Is there a possibility to make contributions directly on Windy Maps regarding location names and icons ?
              Thank you.
              Regards,
              Alain Gallet

                @alain-gallet Hello, we plan to synchronise our maps with OSM with next update.
