Tracking nodes and map zoom idea

Hello!

Fantastic addon, and amazing work you guys have done.

I have a suggestion which might make the map a bit cleaner, and perhaps faster as well. Right now, when you have a type of node selected (such as ore) and zoom the map out, it shows all the nodes crammed together so that it's impossible to see any other details of the terrain. They're also overlapping to the point of not being overly useful, except in a "this zone has mithril, this zone has saronite" sense.

It might be a nice option to have a setting to stop showing icons of this nature when the map zooms out (is scaled down) beyond a threshold. I'm thinking this would not only make the map cleaner looking when flipping around zones, but it would render faster as well.

I think it's probably most useful for the gathered node info (ore, herbs, fish, etc), as you may still want to see notes or quest markers, and they generally aren't packed so densely anyways.

A slider for these that mirrors the functionality of "POI Icons at Scale" but for the gather node icons would be perfect. I agree.
