FamilySearch locations on FamilySearch maps
Is there a way to make FamilySearch locations more obvious on the maps. The affiliate library locations are in red and have a book logo, so they are easier to find. The green of FamilySearch locations blends with green of parks, etc. Could the FamilySearch locations be larger or have the family tree in yellow or some other way to make them stand out on the FamilySearch maps?

I've also noticed that some FamilySearch Center locations do not show up on the map until the user has zoomed in quite a bit (the same is also true for some FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries showing up only when the map is zoomed-in much tighter). A view of an entire state, for example, will not be showing many of either the Affiliate Libraries or FamilySearch Centers and zooming in even further eventually shows more and more of each facility.
This makes it easy to believe there are not Affiliate Libraries OR FamilySearch Centers in locations where they really exist. The map needs to show all of each of those facilities initially in the zoomed-out map, which should not present a problem because no one is likely to want to know where they all are. Many businesses provide maps for all the locations of their particular company across the nation, and merely zooming in closer in a smaller area separates the overlapping business locations in the overall map, making it easy to find just the one the user wants. The same depiction needs to be available on the Affiliate Library/FamilySearch Center location map.
I recently had occasion to need to locate all of the FamilySearch Centers in my state, and tried to use the map to do so. I zoomed in fairly well, and thought I had everything, only to find out I had missed several FamilySearch Centers.
