      I tested the website on multiple browsers and even more PC. You have some errors regarding the locality`s names. When i zoom in, the names displayed correctly. Its about Romania map. Maybe some translate issues ? Attached you can find a screenshot with the problematic names and a zoomed one on the same location.1_1542625357574_Zoomed in.JPG 0_1542625357573_Error_Chrome.JPG

        Hi @Andrei86,

        thank you for reporting. We took a look at that and it seems there is no error. It can be confusing because names are different in a map with higher zoom. We use OSM database for generating windy map and also labels, but a map, which is displayed in higher zoom, is generated a different way.

        There are two possibilities which may cause these inconsistencies:

        • romanian names have been added into OSM database after we generated labels,
        • or romanian names are still missing in OSM database.

        Feel free to fix it:

        • Doggle Smally
        • Robville
        • Jordontown
        • Adamville
        • Barneyburg

        We are going to generate labels and map in next weeks, so you can help us to fix it in the next version :-) Thank you!

          @marekd six years later, the absurd names are still there.
          Cannot even imagine how they ended up like that in your database anyway, they do not seem even a translation issue, maybe a (bad) joke ?

          All the links you've put in 2018 have the correct names on OpenStreetMap, yet on windy they are still wrong. Please take a look

            An eternity later and this is still not fixed. Talking about being customer oriented
