Chisinau, Moldova is being shown by its former, Soviet name from 30 years ago (Kishinev)

Hello,

On the Windy map, the capital of Moldova (Chisinau) is being shown as Kishinev, which is the former name given to the city when it was part of the Soviet Union.

OpenStreetMaps shows it correctly as Chisinau, so I dunno how it got changed on the way.

@Ion-Sergiu Hi, we have probably older version of OSM maps at the moment. So it should be changed with the next update of the background map. Unfortunately, I am not able to tell you when this will be done.

@Radu_ They were updated about only few years ago, but we used data from OpenStreetMap.org, which is open source app.
