Research direction

Start by locating the v3 schema and the style definitions that introduce business listing POIs at zoom 15+. Decide how a configuration option should control their first visible zoom and whether they can be disabled, then verify the resulting labels and any artwork icons behave consistently across the affected styles.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In the v3 schema we introduce many more business listing POIs at zoom 15+ (earlier in the data, later in the style). Right now they are text only labels, but soon they could also include artwork icons.

We could consider a config option to:

  • Show these new POIs at later zoom than 15
  • Disable them completely

This would reduce the visual noise at this zoom – which is now more comparable to Apple Maps or Google Maps while before it was more for a pure data viz use case.
