I think the Windy point of view is totally correct:

*"Windy uses data from Open Street Maps for our base maps.
What is on OSM, we use. If you think that something is not correct, please report it at www.openstreetmap.org or correct it.

Also we are aware that there is a lot of wars and territorial disputes all over the world. [...]

We are focused on good weather product and we have absolutely no resources to present different maps to different countries.
Please accept it."*

It´s understandable that some people will be offended, but the way to change it is through OSM. Better that than no windy maps ;)

Also, windy has no obligation to provide politically correct information. It´s just a tool, if it´s useful use it, if it´s not accurate enough for your useage, then use something else.

P.D. I´m just a user and in no way afliated to anybody.

Hi!

first of all thanks for a great App! I love the display and it has just the right amount of information. The ability to navigate with it is an additional bonus!

I´ve noticed that if I create a navigation route, it either seems to avoid almost all roads (mountainbike mode), taking only paths, or avoids paths taking only roads (normal mode).

It would be great if there was a way to either:

• Modify the route easily by dragging OR

• have a "fastest / shortest" route navigation mode to get quickly from A-B

Even without these features I love it and will keep using it - Thanks again!

This feature is great! What would be awesome too, is the expected thermal strength.
