One map, sixteen switches
Every layer has a toggle and a colour, and the colours are the same in the app and on the web, so an English Heritage red or a National Trust green means the same thing everywhere. The counter under the switches tells you how many sites are in the current view. The two national register layers hold hundreds of thousands of sites, so they appear once you zoom in far enough for the pins to mean something; your own visits and wishlist are never hidden, whatever the zoom.
Your switch choices are remembered on each device, so the layers you care about are the layers you see next time.
