@korina Jep, I should have been more precise. You're offering the details as part of the "large" widget. In my opinion it would be cool to also have a small widget that only shows the next hours and current temperature while not having the weekly forecast on it.

Hi Windy Team and Community,

I want to report a persistent reverse-geocoding issue that affects users located in Austria across the Web UI, the mobile app, and especially third-party integrations like the Garmin Connect IQ apps.

The Issue:
Almost all Austrian location names are displayed with the long prefix "Katastralgemeinde" (e.g., showing "Katastralgemeinde Kitzbühel" instead of simply "Kitzbühel").
While this might just be a minor visual annoyance on the desktop web version, it completely breaks the UI on smaller screens like Garmin watches, where the actual town name gets pushed out of the visible display area.

The Technical Root Cause:
This looks like a classic reverse-geocoding parsing glitch. Your system (likely fetching from OSM via Nominatim or a similar geocoder) selects the geographically smallest administrative boundary at the user's GPS coordinates.

In Austria, the entire country is historically divided into these cadastral communities, which sit at admin_level=10 in the OSM database. Their name tags literally include the word "Katastralgemeinde". Because the parser grabs admin_level=10 before admin_level=8 (the actual political municipality/town), it pushes this raw, bureaucratic string to the UI instead of the standard city, town, or village name.

Proposed Solutions:
Could you implement a minor backend tweak for Austrian coordinates? Two approaches would easily solve this:

Regex/String Filter: Simply strip the string "Katastralgemeinde " (including the trailing space) from the output before it hits the UI.

Hierarchy Adjustment: Tell the reverse-geocoder to ignore admin_level=10 for location naming in Austria and prioritize admin_level=8 or standard place tags instead.

Windy is absolutely brilliant when it comes to data visualization, so it would be fantastic to get this localized naming quirk ironed out to keep the UI clean.

Thanks for looking into this!

Example of the Fenix 7s attached. As you can see, no matter where I would be in Austria, I never get the see the name of the location, but always just "Katastralgemeinde".

I agree. I'd also love to have an hourly forecast widget (showing current temperature and stats and looking the next 4 - 6 hours ahead). Ideally, one for which the model to be displayed can be chosen.

@arneb This doesn't help with the app though. There it always default back to ECWMF.

@ibender70 Same request from me. Would love to set ICON-D2 default both in browser and in app.
