Crikey Dave B18, that's a bit harsh.
What zoom level are you using? If you're zoomed right out, yes the symbols and green clusters cover much of the map, but at those outer zoom levels the map is not much use for navigating - you would use that zoom just to locate a particular part of the map then zoom in to see the detail.
With the off line maps, the most natural zoom level is 13, where you get the best detail and resolution. At zoom 13 the symbols are there alright but they don't obscure detail to any great extent. If one does you can temporarily drag it out of the way for a quick look at what lies underneath.
If clusters of symbols are really bothering you then maybe you're in a largish town, where there is probably mobile service - in which case you can switch to on-line streets and paths and zoom into all the detail you require and at the same time spreading out all the symbols so they don't clutter the part of the map you're interested in.
For the record, I don't like caravan parks and the lobbying they do with councils to close free camps. But some people do like them and need them so surely they are a valid inclusion in a traveller's app. It is important to note that the symbols are not advertising caravan parks, they are just advising users of their presence. That
information is provided FOC by users of
EOTopo. It is not paid advertising.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see your problem.
For the OP, I support a previous post - the 2019 upgrade is not critical but I have found it worthwhile.
I guess everyone's needs and wants are different.
