Gatherer has a mini-map button to turn on/off the various mini-map icons. It does get cluttered after a while I agree. Sometimes the resource icons at the edge overlap the party/corpse/direction arrows and I have to turn off the resource icons to mouse over the arrows.
The main map also has a button to hide/show the resource icons.
I don't know if there is a way to add comments to the map with Gatherer. It would be nice to have that in one module instead of needing another download.
Anyways, I think Gatherer does for miners/herbalists exactly what you want to do for skinners. The trouble is that Gatherer's resource display wouldn't work for skinning -- the map would literally be covered with leather icons. Have you sent a request to the Gatherer author asking for zone counts? Maybe an option to merge identical resource icons within a certain distance would solve the leather resource display.
