In the new vector airfield plates in V3.3 on both PC and Android (SkyDemon plates - not AIP or Pooleys plates) please make the hold positions and hold numbers visible at much lower zoom levels so that when taxying around an airfield we don't have to be zoomed right in to find a hold. If requested to 'taxi to hold alpha one' then at he moment I have to zoom in to see the hold info and then pan around the whole airfield to find the one I need by which time my current position is now off the screen.
See attached screenshot (taken from PC) where even zoomed in this far hold numbers are not visible.

Please note that there is a new tool in SkyDemon specifically for finding holds. Just press the position instrument at the top of the screen on your iOS/Android device where it says "touch for more tools" or similar and you can locate holds and taxiways by their identifier.
OK I just tried this out on Android version and it's not working very well (at least at Duxford). If I select a hold in the "Find Hold" feature the map immediately zooms out to 1:250,000 thus I can no longer see the airfield plate and by the time I've zoomed in enough to see the hold again then the highlight diamond has disappeared.
Can the hold IDs on the vector plates be drawn in the same way as the runway numbers so that they are visible most of the time? The "Find Hold" feature does not help me when I want to find the hold for a particular runway so that I can call (e.g.) "Request taxi to hold alpha for runway 24 departure".
