        Thank you for your post. Unfortunately the place names are not controlled by Windy.

        Please see the following posts about how the map data for Windy is sourced and displayed from www.openstreetmap.org:

        https://community.windy.com/topic/4649/how-to-correct-errors-in-the-base-maps

        https://community.windy.com/topic/5564/disputed-territories-on-windy

        Please also note: For every language, a different place name label can be displayed, so please choose your correct language and data display.

        Further discussion of place name and language issues or disputes should be directed to the OpenStreetMap Forum here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/index.php > scroll down & select > users: (the relevant country for your dispute and/or question)

        In the case of a political dispute please leave such topics out of the Windy forum and instead focus on the discussion of weather.

        Thank you :)

        WINDY is everywhere :)

            I took my family on asauling yacht from Norway to the Carabean and back again. I used only Windy as my weather planning tool (apart from Atlantic crossing where Satelite phone transfers forced me to choose another supplier).

            Fantastic tool, also in remote Edge and 3G areas.

                              I assume there is no relationship between windy.com and windy.app. The latter is running a hard-sell membership discount ranging from monthly $4.99, annually $19.99, or lifetime $59.99.

                              They claim to provide historical data, something that I know is vv important to a small portion of the windy community. They are also focused on rapid, simple answers to questions in the purchase space (many of which deal with accuracy.

                              Can anyone define for me the current status of this project relative to: (a) accuracy, (b) responsiveness, (c) ongoing efforts to improve and/or collaborate, and (d) historical data. I have seen suggestions about memberships for windy.com (that domain must have cost a fortune), but I see only 'donations.'

                              I strongly feel this is the right horse to back, with a great community. I'm willing to give the same amount here (perhaps many of us should). I do, however, want to understand any relationships between the 2 dominant apps -- esp when one of them is aggressively capitalizing.

                              Any comments appreciated.

                                Which Windy mobile app do you mean? Is it this one?
                                https://community.windy.com/topic/3756/warning-russian-windy-app-uses-our-name-and-want-you-to-pay-for-nothing
                                As far as I know this app has no connection with windy.com.
                                The true app of windy.com shows the same logo as the website.
                                Windy.com and the app are free but you can donate to support them.

                                  I am using a Windows laptop. When clicking on airports (I'm a pilot) all I see now is heliports. What am I doing wrong?

                                    Could well be that they're on the same layer. Perhaps zoom out a little and only the main airports remain.

                                      Dear Windy crew. May you consider implementing new colors for the wave prediction model? Today only large variations can be seen due to the very similar colors of the model. I am a surfer and often leave the app to consult other sites, due to the difficulty of filling. My suggestion is to implement the same traditionally colors used for WW models. Or, provide customizable palettes. O don't know If here is the right place to post It... please let me know.

                                        You have already customisable colour palettes on Windy !
                                        Just go to:
                                        Settings ==> Modify layers colors ==> Select overlay ==>Waves
                                        https://community.windy.com/topic/6455/colors/2
                                        This example is given for Wind, but the way for Wave is the same. You can change colours and range (only on website windy.com, not in the mobile app. You must login with the same account and your modification will be applied to your mobile app too)
