Cache rating presentation (smileys) on mapv3

[andrixnet]

While checking something on OCPL (related to another issue), I saw that the few OCPL caches location in Romania are shown with different icons. Some have smiley on them, others have not.

The smiley on cache icon has usually been associated with me having found that cache. I haven't logged a find for any of these caches.

In this situation:

• The smiley could have been associated with cache health status (ready to be found), but this is not the case.
• The smiley could have been associated with the cache having at least one find, but this is also not the case. Not all caches with finds have the smiley.

Smiles are related with cache rating.

Smiles are related with cache rating.

Especially smiles mark the highest rating

Then IMO it would be a much better idea to implement a different visual cue to indicate rating. Smiley face on cache icon on map is too well known as a "found" indicator" (and I not talking about GC, but also at least about c:geo which has full OC support). This is user-confusing.

Since c:geo uses a big yellow star to indicate you are the owner of a cache, I would suggest using a scale or smaller stars (based on number of recommendations) either vertically on the side or horizontal at top or bottom of the cache icon, but in a visually different way.

See cgeo cache icon with owner marker:

A I know well - we got all icons from OKAPI, so it is OKAPI issue/improvement.

I like the idea to show rating as star icon - will be great to show also other ratings for example: "poor" = red star or white, "normal" = orange star or half white half golden etc.
