      Located in Western Australia, Just north of the town of Bindoon there is a small aerodrome (Bindoon Hill) and on Windy.com - which I use for comprehensive weather info prior to flights - the airfield is displaying but outdatedly as YBOO which is wrong. It is now known as YBHL which is very confusing while using the app. As well as this the runway in operation is 09-27 which is NOT lighted but that is not displaying unlike other airfields on the map. I was wondering if this would be updated? Thanks, Taj.

          YBHL

          The background map used by windy, comes from openstreetmap.org
          If you register to openstreetmap you can add any info. for this airstripe.
          e.g.
