Map label of small feature incorrectly expands over large area when zoomed out

[SomeoneElse (Andy Townsend)]

@super10s

who/how is this determined?

By whoever is making the map…

@super10s

shouldn’t the label be required (at creation) to have extents so the label is intelligently applied per zoom level?

yes, whoever is making the map can get at the area, and make big things appear at lower zooms than small things.

@super10s

And shouldn’t geographic area label be distinguished from point labels, such as a hot dog stand?

yes, whoever is making the map can get at that too (although you can’t assume that things will always be mapped as point or area features).
