Name marker hexagonal icons can spoil the view on approach
When approaching a location that has a marker on it, the marker at distance will cover the view of the location.
The hexagonal icon will sit on top of the target.
From far away or very near this is not a problem.
In between this there is a distance on approach to the location where the hexagonal icon obscures the view where I would ordinarily start to adjust my vessel angle of for landing.
If there is a landing pad at this distance it is completely obscured by the icon.
When approaching an asteroid I like to align to the side of asteroid where the landing site is, I am prevented from doing this early as I can not see it passed the icon.
CAD programs get around this issue by using arrow lines between text(icon) and the target point. This could be dynamic and change with distance.
I like this feedback
Alternatively you could have a wireframe circle around the target location and put the icon to the side.

Also the current lack of a distance dropoff on GPS points means that while exploring Kermit or Oblivara I have an enormous list of GPS points from Verdure, 3,000 odd km away, obscuring half the sky.
