Hi Holger, Thanks for your response.
I agree that Turkey is a special case geographically. A large majority of its landmass is indeed located in Asia, so I understand why it was placed there. My concern is not primarily whether Turkey should be considered European or Asian, but rather the consistency of the grouping presented by the installer. For example, Cyprus is listed under Europe even though it is geographically located entirely in Asia, and Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia are also grouped under Europe despite their similarly ambiguous or transcontinental status. Given these existing classifications, Turkey appears to be treated differently from other countries in the same region. If the intention is to group countries by physical geography, then several existing entries might deserve reconsideration. If the intention is instead to follow political, cultural, or user-expectation criteria, then placing Turkey under Europe would also be consistent with the surrounding entries. So my suggestion is less about Turkey itself, and more about applying the same rationale consistently across all borderline cases.
