<h4>What is on OSM, we use. If you think that something is not correct, please report it at <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org" rel="nofollow ugc">www.openstreetmap.org</a> or correct it.</h4>
<h4>Also we are aware that there is a lot of wars and territorial disputes all over the world. Therefore companies like Google, Bing, Apple, and Yandex have a different version of its maps, and they present the "right maps" to the "right audience".</h4>
<h4>We are focused on good weather product and we have absolutely no resources to present different maps to different countries.</h4>
<h4>Please accept it.</h4>
<h4>These are the disputed territories around the world:</h4>

<h3>UPDATE on Vietnamese map issue (9 Nov 2018)</h3>
<h3>Please note, <strong>the label that we display on Windy was deleted from the OpenStreetMap database just yesterday</strong> (see the screenshot below).</h3>
<h3><strong>When we next generate labes to Windy</strong> (we can not guarantee when it will be), <strong>the change will take effect</strong>, unless some other OSM contributor makes a contradictory editing in the meantime.</h3>
<h3>Also please note: <strong>For every language, a different label can be displayed.</strong>  For example, in Vietnamese we show "Tam Sa", while in English it's "Sansha" – <strong>just according to the translation available on OSM.</strong></h3>
<h3>We hope this explanation has brought more light into the "wrong maps" issue. :)</h3>
