I use the map view quite a lot to get a grasp of all available caches in an area. Especially urban areas however have many, many hotspots with hundreds if not thousands of caches. Rendering all these caches with big symbols is quite cumbersome because the labels overlap each other and don't provide the wanted information (for the search example "I look for an area with many traditionals").

On GC.com's map they have three or four zoom levels with different symbol sizes and information and IIRC only the lower two sizes are actually clickable (which is a good thing), while the other serve more of an "overview" purpose.

I understand that this might not be something for people who do lots of single caches in the outback where the containers are farer away from each other, so maybe this could be something that can be switched on / off by a preference option?
