POI Display Locking and Labels Suggestion.

POI Display Locking:
One of my big issues with the old system was the inability to see POIs when zooming out. I love that you've improved this! I appreciate due to crowding, you've had to make them "auto prune" as zoom out has occurred:
Example (this is using a 300+ POI file - our year of bonuses in one category of the Tour of Honor).
I'm circling Nebraska as an example - it has 7 bonuses - they're pruned when zoomed out:

Zooming in - they auto-appear - great!

That said, when in a competition Rally - there are times we need to see certain high-value points, checkpoints, etc no matter what the zoom level is, because our nationwide route needs to include these. If auto-pruning hid one, it could lead to costly mistakes. This could also be useful in other scenarios - like locking a Start and Finish POI onto the screen for club rides, etc
Idea: Would it be possible to LOCK a specific POI on screen - so no matter the zoom level, that POI is going to be visible? Perhaps just a little padlock icon that clicking it would keep it always on?
I love that you've added the mouse-over POI feature in the latest update - VERY useful when working with a lot of POIs:

Bonus idea: In conjunction with this: I'd love to be able to lock a Text Label (perhaps its name?) with a POI when always on display. The popup itself is too large to use for this function - but if the POI icon could have visible text above or below it would be very helpful.
Here's an example of how mymaps does it:

Cheers and Thanks for considering.

Thanks for the feedback!
I've made some adjustments -
