Following formula can be used to calculate current "zoom points", these which can be used to hide/show icons at the same thresholds as the native map icons:

800 * (1/ctrlMapScale _ctrlMap) * (1/getTerrainInfo#1)

The thresholds are defined in ptsPerSquare* ctrl map properties, eg

getNumber (configFile >> "ctrlMap" >> "ptsPerSquareObj")
