I'm using apple maps to build a feature so users can create and save running/cycling/hiking routes.

Currently the map only shows trails and similar local paths after zooming in to what is basically an extreme level.

I want the trails and local paths to be more visible on a further, broader level of zoom.

APPLE MAPS JS EX:

APPLE MAPS iOS EX: https://trkbucket.s3.amazonaws.com/media/shoe_images/IMG_9DDF5C9A320D-1.jpeg

Also strange that on iOS the path is visible while more zoomed out whereas JS does not.

Please advise how to show these map items at a broader zoom.
