Add easy option to toggle business listings at zoom 15+

Open nvkelso opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

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.

In thinking about the "control plane" for the style library, the parameters are basically

  1. light/dark/monochrome mode
  2. nolabels layers, labels layers (for sandwiches), or labels-only (for overlays)
  3. localized display language, or even two

Stretch ideas

  1. label density
  2. contrast
  3. POI density ("detail")
