Option to disable photo icons on activity maps and analysis maps

Currently, in the desktop version, if an activity has photos with GPS location on them, they are displayed as large round icons on the map. There’s no way to disable them, and they take a lot of space out of the map window. And as in the recent update the ability to resize map windows was removed (sorry, but why the heck?) and especially in the analysis view when there’s not even a possibility to make the map full screen, they take up an enormous amount of space, and block the view easily completely, when you try to fine tune the location of the sliders you want to check a certain section of the activity with. This is extremely annoying and frustrating.

So, please, give as an option to toggle off the photo icons from all map windows.
