Thanks! Please type Adding setting or increasing the size doesn't feel like an "organic" way. |

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When planning or following a hike on the Outdoors map style, mountain huts and places to eat/drink are the POIs that matter most, but they disappear as soon as you zoom out a little. To check "is there a hut / an inn along this next section?" I constantly have to zoom in, pan, zoom out, repeat. On a phone in the field that is slow and easy to miss things. The icons are also small and hard to spot against dense terrain shading or with direct sunlight hitting the screen.
Describe the ideal solution
Two related toggles in Settings, active in the Outdoors map style (the hiking map):
"Always show huts & refreshment stops" — a defined set of POI types stays visible at every zoom level at which the feature is present in the loaded map data (see note below). Proposed type set:
tourism=alpine_hut,tourism=wilderness_hut,amenity=shelter,amenity=restaurant,amenity=cafe,amenity=fast_food,amenity=bar,amenity=pub,amenity=biergarten(open to trimming/extending — e.g.
tourism=guest_house,amenity=drinking_water)."Enlarge these POIs" — when the first option is on, render that same set at roughly double icon size so they stand out for quick scanning.
Both default off, so nothing changes for users who don't opt in.
Describe alternatives you have considered
Additional context / implementation sketch
I'd be happy to implement this and open a PR. Sketch, following existing patterns:
Framework→DrapeEngine→ drape_frontend, exactly like the existing Isolines / 3D-buildings / Transit-scheme toggles, gated to the Outdoors style.platform/settings.hpp, exposed to Android (SettingsPrefsFragment+Config) and iOS settings.Before writing code I wanted to check whether the maintainers would welcome this and whether a scoped hiking setting is the right shape (vs. a broader "more detail" toggle). Feedback very welcome.
