I think we should rethink the icon used for the map key. The current one (lowercase i) gives the idea of "information", which is misleading. What kind of information does it display? Honestly, I didn't even know there was a key available, until I just hovered over it.

Something like this might be better:

I also think we should avoid an actual key icon, as it implies authentication, etc.

How map presents information.

as it implies authentication

And it would be clear only for limited audience (in many languages name for map key is not related in any way to word key).

Something like this might be better:

Would it work using only two colours like current icon?

@danieldegroot2 I've added the labels that you requested. If you are finding the labels useful, then I can also give you "triage" permissions to add labels yourself - just let me know and I'll do so. We've already got two other people with "triage" permissions who add labels from time to time.
