<![CDATA[NİKOMEDİA]]>Hello,

In Türkiye, while I am checking the radar and I noticed that the name of İzmit written as nikomedia as a greek name. As windy, what do you mean? Do you know what is happening between greece and Türkiye? Are you giving a message to turks? What is the explanation of this?

To change one name on the base map they need to change the totality of this map throughout the world.

After 2.5 years , windy developers cannot handle to change name of a city to it's correct name as İzmit. What a shame.

Which locals are you talking about? Türkiye republic accept the name of izmit as nikomedia? In order to prevent from mistakes while synchronizing data from open street map you should do a good engineering and you cannot keep your mistakes by afraid of that. Local Türkiye authorities also does not call Kocaeli as nikomedia that you should fix. The other country authorities does not my issue, it is your issue.

However, at this moment, it is not that easy to take new data for replacement and also there is a risk that other names would be changed in a way, locals don't approve it. So we decide to keep it for now, since we want to focus on weather related features.

I saw a big update on the app has been done but this issue just ignored. So please tell me what is the purpose of calling Kocaeli as nikomedia?

When I disable it , It seems nikomedia. I checked this from an Android or IOS device and the behaviour is same. I thougt that is related with my location. But still no pattern.

The name of the city (İzmit) has no other name such as nikomedia.

As you focus only on this town name, if you set English map labels, you get Izmir even in Turkish language.

However, we are finishing many projects at this time, so I cannot tell you when this will be done. I would appreciate your patience.

You could rewrite the application from the scratch during this time.

But once we update the map source, the Nikomedia issue and other similar inconsistencies will be fixed.

I have 2 questions,

1- I really wonder what is the reason that you call Kocaeli as Nikomedia. This name is from ancient ages and that does not look like a mistake from my perspective. If this is a mistake really cannot understand how this happens.

2- When is your map update. Do you have any Estimated time?

Thanks,
Ömer

the name needs to be corrected there in order to appear correctly on Windy.

As noted at https://community.windy.com/topic/21061/wrong-place-names-not-sourced-from-openstreetmap/1 that simply isn't the case here (and in the case of most other similar issues raised with OSM).

When I have checked openstreetMap, It does not seems nikomedia here. On the database , some fields might be nikomedia but I do not know the backend. My point is, openstreetmap does not show the name of Kocaeli/izmit as nikomedia but windy shows.

If you use Turkish, then the name should appear as Izmir. Nevertheless, we gather map data from OpenStreetMap.org, the name needs to be corrected there in order to appear correctly on Windy.

I have checked the application again, from my location I still see nikomedia instead of İzmit. My location is İstanbul. Out of my location, my friends see izmit. I cannot catch any pattern but I guess this is related to where you are. I have checked android and apple and both seem the same (nikomedia) from my location. I do not think this is a bug but cannot understand the reason.

In the "greek version" of Windy
is written as Izmit !
