No, often they don't realise. For example, when there's a supermarket tagged as an area, they think the supermarket isn't mapped, and try adding an icon for it. The turquoise building outline (or whatever) doesn't lead them to think that it has been mapped. >> People get mightily confused when the icons on the map don’t match the icons >> on the sidebar.

But the bigger point is that if the map style has different icons (e.g. the opencyclemap style) then switching map styles doesn't update the sidebar. The icons displayed are more of a "map style" consideration than a "map features" consideration, to a certain extent, so maybe the map style should define the icon, and the sidebar pick them up from there. Dropping an icon and having a different one appear isn't great. On the other hand, I frequently get asked why the icons in potlatch2 don't match the icons on the main map layer precisely - which is something that's unsolvable in many cases.
