Country Names on Maps

My name: Ly Son Island

I think the problem mentioned by CameronEros, is a bug.
The name "Antigua" is ONLY shown in zoom level 12.
In any other zoom level, the island is named St. John.
I think country names must be visible in low zoom (zoom-out mode)
and city names as you zoom-in. -
meteo GR is right, at one certain zoom point the country name appears, very zoomed in. If you want to look at several islands at once you are stuck with town and city names. I'd rather see country names when zoomed out, then town names as you zoom in for more detail. Oh well, looks like Windy uses someone else's maps and it's probably the way they want it. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi there. Checking out the Lesser Antilles today and the names are still the cities at most views. How can one contribute to make it more helpful for a very active storm region? It matters very much for sharing information using screenshots.
The country names viewed on Open Street Maps are labeled at any zoom level. How to adjust this from there for here?

@A-Carnahc
Already a old demand

Thanks for today’s reply. A new demand hence the current Atlantic activity. Shall I make a new topic?
Windy Maps as shown here doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore. Is it still the source for Windy? https://community.windy.com/post/28192

@A-Carnahc
No need to create a new topic, the question is now updated again. -
@A-Carnahc May I ask what exactly the issue is?

@Suty
From my point of view, the issue, as explained in my previous posts, is that small countries and small island are not identified by their name but by their main town(s).

@idefix37 This is still related to the need of the map update. Hopefully it will be done at the end of this year.
