... after some experimentation I've found that even after setting the visibility of poi.business labels to "off" I am seeing some clickable business icons. Setting it to "on" or "simplified" gives the more or less expected results. So perhaps the poi.business labels are still "off" by default in 3.6 and I'm seeing some clickable business icons because of a bug or ???
