    Hi QRZ Team,

    After the recent map updates, the Grid Mapper (which now runs on Leaflet/OpenStreetMap) displays all city and country names in Eastern Europe exclusively in Cyrillic characters.
    For users not fluent in Cyrillic, it is currently very difficult to identify grid squares or locations in those DX zones. Could you please consider configuring the OpenStreetMap layer to enforce localized/translated English or Western European names (transliterated tiles) instead of the native local names?

    Thank you for your amazing work and 73! OE3PKU
