Sure and thank you for inquiring! My main issue is that sometimes street names don't show up. I've noticed that in an area where there are a lot of businesses, a street with many businesses often won't have its actual street name labelled anywhere on the map. My hypothesis is that Organic Maps tends to put street name labels on blocks with fewer marked items, which means that on streets that have lots of businesses, sometimes street names don't show up at all. This can make it harder to get around. I'd like to be able to hide businesses in the hopes that then street names will show up. Alternately, I'd like to have the option of always prioritizing printing street names over business names. But really, having the options of hiding the icons altogether would be preferable. The way I imagine this working would be that you could toggle on/off the display of certain categories of icons ("business", "restaurant", "government building" or something like that). Please let me know if you have any further questions or clarifications about the motivation here. |

Related to There is also an idea to try to render street names "under" POIs. If a name is partly overlayed with 1-2 icons, then it might miss just a few letters and be recognisable / readable still. But it'll become messy if overlayed with another text (a POI label).. The planned "Driving" map style will likely have more emphasis on street names. |

I think this is a good feature request, when hiking or visiting foreign countries |

Just came across @pastk's comment in a different issue about searching for "?vlight" and that's basically just what I want here! It makes using the map much easier for me and I look forward to it being its own style. Thanks for adding that! |

I want to be able to see just the map but without icons for restaurants or businesses. I didn't see this as a feature in the app or as an existing feature request so I would like to begin the discussion of it here.
