        Hi, contact OpenStreetMap to correct these names as Windy use their map as base map.

            Two years later the the issue still persists. It’s really a shame that nobody is looking into this.

            Somehow someone managed to change the cities names… maybe a prank? Who knows

            Ps: open street map has the correct names

              @idefix37 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/304735561/history/10 -- "Adamville" was a "name:en" for "Ciungetu" about 7 years ago, it was removed 6 years ago. I think you have some cache on your side that has these incorrect names that is displayed on the map when the browser's language is set to English.

              Or alternatively you're using some database that tries to look back on older name entries in various languages, and uses incorrect and deleted ones. So this is definitely on your end, OSM is correct for years now.

                @windyati Hello, we are planning to update the whole map and all labels there in upcoming months. This should be fixed there.
