[0003] However, in the POI display mode of the existing electronic map, all the POIs in a certain longitude and latitude range are usually displayed without distinction. If there are too many POIs in this area, the display may cause icons or text overlapping

For example, in the city center or other bustling neighborhoods, points of interest of various categories such as catering, entertainment, and department stores are concentrated. If they are all displayed in this area, due to the limited space of the electronic map mark, the icons or text overlap, and the user cannot See clearly the specific names, locations, etc. of each point of interest; in particular, electronic maps are often loaded on small mobile terminals, and the display screens of mobile terminals are more limited, which leads to more prominent defects of overlapping icons or text

However, if only some POIs are displayed and other POIs are blocked from being displayed, on the one hand, the user cannot see the complete distribution information of the POIs in the area; quite complicated
