points of interest on iOS10GM map

I have encountered a new behaviour on MKMapView on iOS10. Some of the points of intrest that up until now was only visible when turning on showsPointsOfInterest property are now constantly displayed on the map. mainly train stations and parks. is this behaviour by design? is there a way to remove this layer from the map?


Help appreciated

I am seeing the same thing. I'd like to remove road numbers as well, which aren't very important if you are not driving, but really clutter up the map.


It would also be good to remove POIs on the WKInterfaceMap watch class, because the extra clutter is even worse on the smaller screen.

I have discovered an undocumented feature of WKInterfaceMap relating to the amount of details being displayed.

If I display a map with my custom annotations (I draw my track and add lines and symbols) then the map displays with no text, however, if I display the map with no annotations, I get road and location names


At one stage the watch was misbehaving and I received a long and strange error message in the Console (which I have had to delete to get this post past the moderator!)


from which I extracted some interesting info. I see:

  1. Roads - Loading
  2. Road Labels - Loading
  3. Resources - Loading
  4. Attributes - Loading
  5. Polygons - Loading
  6. Rivers - Loading
  7. Point Labels - Loading
  8. Polygon Labels - Loading
  9. Rivers - Loading

So there are a bunch of layers that are loaded on top of the map.

Wouldn't it be nice if Apple provided an API interface to those features?

It's now been in this state for 6 days! I have removed the embedded images, but that doesn't seem to have fixed it! This is a very broken Forum!
