Show mall icons on low zooms (as department_store)

[kvlahromei]

Hi,
it's pretty useful that the style shows (only) the big shopping amenities, as (local) people usually use it for orientation within cities. Currently it seems a tip confusing, why department stores (one operator) are still visible on low zooms, if malls (multiple smaller operator in one huge building) aren't 😕 For example, the inner city of Rostock z16.
.

IMHO it would make sense, if we show also the icons for the mall buildings in the same way 👍 . I guess printing the labels would be nice but result in visual clutter? Also skipping small supermarkets/shops might improve the visual impression (at least for cities).

Thanks for your suggestion.

Normally we do print the names of malls at larger zoomlevels, if the mall is large enough. In this case, I suspect the name conflicts with the Schwaanse Straße street name. Street names have priority over mall names.

Thanks for the analysis, but the labeling is just an nice-to-have. The essential part of this issue is the icons for malls 😉

I'm okay with label-only. Even a dot-rendering for this feature was rejected in #2651 so I think we don't need an icon here.

@kocio-pl There hasn't been any new comments here for almost 2 years, so I propose to close this issue.

I'm OK with that too., so I'm closing it. If someone wants to discuss it more, it can be reopened.
