What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  Currently, as far as I can tell, when you make a map and add interactive points to it, they are always active, and remain there when other layers are toggled on or off. I find this can quickly clutter a map.   If this feature already exists, then the accessibility of it needs to be drastically improved to be utilized more readily when creating Pins, Labels and other map features; Because I couldn't find it at all.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  If users could lock Pins/Labels to certain layers, they can create a cleaner more user friendly map. If you want to make a political overlay map, with names of nations or even more details you can without making your initial map an unreadable mess. You would only see that information when that particular layer is toggled on. This feature can give Layers a lot more dynamic and usable in one feature.

What are other uses for this feature request?

Accessibility of Information, Information Density Improvement, Adaptable Maps through a strengthened Layer feature.
