[mkgmap-dev] display of place names on lower zoom levels

Not only the labels are not shown but also the place nodes. Even at a very dense detailed map as here in the NL's it is not good to see that all cities are gone from the map after 3 km zoom on a normal detail level in Mapsource. This has nothing to do with 0x type but is set in the default points style file. So in my opinion towns and cities should be set on a lower zoom level, for instance 16 for cities and 18 for towns. Villages at 22 and hamlets 24.

Also note, that labels have nothing to do with resolution. They depend 
much more on the 0x type. Also there is a difference in importance of 
labels of POI/POLYGON/POLYLINES.
