Turning Off POI on Run Courses

Hi. I create courses on Garmin Connect and transfer them to my Fenix-6X to be used while running. Is it possible to hide all/certain POIs on the map course I am following as, especially in cities, the sheer number of them clutter-up the map? Bizarrely, I don't recall seeing this quantity on my courses before and am wondering if I have accidentally changed a setting. Thanks in advance.

You can set the level of detail displayed on the map at the system level and/or for each profile to High, Normal, or Less. I'm not sure what layers shown on the map correlate to the three settings, but you can play around to see if any of those setting fit your needs.

Thanks for your suggestion Dan.Boilermaker unfortunately I have already played with the map detail settings and currently have it set on the lowest level. Alas, it seems to make no difference to the POI settings.

You can always load up a version of Open Street Maps.

I have a copy of BBBike open Street maps on my watch that I tried (switching off the native Garmin maps). Unfortunately, that shows the POIs too. Do you know if it's possible to download the maps without POIs?

I've never specifically searched for maps w/o POI information since that's the type of information I want on my map . There are a few sources out there that I think allow you to define the level of detail of your map. You can dig into this forum or Google to find more information.
