2 weeks ago react-native-maps has following code
[_map addOverlay:self level:MKOverlayLevelAboveLabels];
according to documentation
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkit/mkoverlaylevel
this means
Place the overlay above map labels, shields, or point-of-interest icons but below annotations and 3D projections of buildings.
should have AboveRoads instead that means
Place the overlay above roadways but below map labels, shields, or point-of-interest icons.
But the change should be done to react-native-maps codebase.
When map is loaded IOS places location names on top of WMS-layers. However, when map is panned location names go below WMS-layers. They should stay on top. Check is there similar functionality on Android as well, enable it if available.
"VectorTile Label" is probably what it's all about...
In Android, locations names are not loaded at all until user zooms in or out. Then they stay on top. At least on 4.1.0.
