      I keep seeing references to "Lake Windermere" and "Lake Ullswater". These are wrong names.

      Most recently, I saw these in your webcam views. Are these your names for them, or just copied from the webcam data?

      For reference, they have names such as
      Coniston Water
      Grasmere
      Ullswater
      Rydal Water
      Windermere
      Derwent Water
      Bassenthwaite Lake (there is one called "Lake"!)
      Brotherswater
      Buttermere

      I appreciate there will be bigger problems in the world, but these names are a part of our local culture and it's being diluted :-(

        Thank you for your post, however 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/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 :)
