Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I search using the 'display[ed] on map' feature, I find that the found results appear as blue POI's. As it is, they very easily disappear into areas where there are many other POI's. To increase legibility, I have a few notes and suggestions:

Describe the ideal solution

  • First note: When I have the 'subway' layer toggled, the Searched POI's also fade out. I would ensure that the searched POI's do not fade out given other map styles or layers.

  • I would give the searched POI's a unique style or color. As they are, they easily blend into existing POI's such as the Chicago MTA logo. Screenshot_20240522-145236 Perhaps a unique shape could help.

  • perhaps searching fades out the background in a similar way to the subway layer, but rather keeps the results highlighted.

  • I have a lot of bookmarks, perhaps an easier way to quickly show/hide bookmarks such as a layer.

Describe alternatives you have considered
Consider the following apps and their treatment of POI search results. Which ones are easier to read?
OSMAnd~
Magic Earth
Google

To me, only Google maps really shows results in a legible way, followed by Organic Maps. The other two (OSMAnd~ and Magic Earth), are either nearly illegible, or dont even show the results at all!

I am not a programmer, so please let me know if there's anything I've missed. OM is absolutely my favorite maps app to use by far- to see its resurrection after the maps.me debacle is like watching a phoenix rise from ashes.

True, search results are sometimes not easy to distinguish from other POIs.
Would be nice if unrelated POIs could fade out.
