NİKOMEDİA

Hi @Ömer-Kırcalı, we are aware of these issues with map labels, etc. but we cannot do those fixed manually one after another, so a large update of the map is planned. However, we are finishing many projects at this time, so I cannot tell you when this will be done. I would appreciate your patience.

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

@idefix37 Now I experience that when "İngilizce harita etiketleri" enabled , I see as izmit. 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.

@Ömer-Kırcalı We took certain data from OpenStreetMap (Open source app) and they are used in Windy and also they probably contain certain issues with some names of cities or areas. 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.

@Suty I have already asked that to open street map and they say the issue is on the windy not open street map. 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.

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

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