I like to see all my tracks on the map, so I can see where I have been hiking in Europe. But the map is really struggling trying to show all the tracks when zooming out.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think it would help to have some line simplification or path generalization by data decimation so fewer points need to be drawn when zooming out. One popular algorithm is the Ramer-Douglas-Peucker, and one library implementing this is simplify.js.

Additional context

I found one related closed issue, but the solution is to hide/filter whole tracks in stead of the points within the tracks:

No implementation files or tests are named. Start by locating the JavaScript code that renders vector track data and review the suggested simplify.js or Ramer–Douglas–Peucker approach. Done means tracks remain visible while zooming out with fewer points drawn and improved map performance.
