Only zip code has label, health center has no label.
User was shocked when see so many different kind of icon, some H icon is blue color, some H icon is dark color, some icon is blue house, some icon is five star.
What are these icon means, no where can find any clue, even user click any icon, nothing popup, maybe try click same icon several time will finally popup 2 things, unwanted zip code polygon was highlighted, user did not click polygon
Public user who don't know GIS, don't know ESRI, just confused and stop here.
Some professional GIS user, who knows ESRI software, knows how to open layer frame,
When professional GIS user click one of top 6 icon to open layer frame,
was shocked again, the layer name does not comes with legend !!!!
How do I know which icon means which layer????
Professional GIS user, knows how to turn on and off layer by click famous ESRI eyes icon,
however was shocked again, user turn on off several layers, multiple colored house icon shows up or nothing happen,
User confused, nothing happen means is it broken or is it slow or what,
multiple colored more icon shows up, what that means, which color means which layer?
Still have no idea.
Original UDS mapper have all point feature, hospital etc.. all labeled, you don't have to click it, you can just read the label know hospital name.
Like google map, walmart and homdepot are labeled on map, walmart is not a house icon you have to click house icon to popup windows tells you it is walmart.
But here, hospital is H icon, you have to click several times to popup info window to know it is a hospital
Original UDS mapper does not have these problem, because only when you select show info window will show popup, otherwise will select service area.
These are all fundermental and critial to usability.
What is most important things to user ?
In user's perspective:
All I want is to know what these five star are, what is their name, if I want to see details, I can click it to popup the details.
Sure, you can do that with my gis tools.
Option 1
use NO.21 which is client feature layer labeling, it will label all the point, polygon, line as your way.

In this case, I want to see site name, which is clinic name.

Official HRSA's little five star symbol is horrible to see, too small !!!! Without above I created client side label, I can't even find them on map !!!!
How about make five star larger, light color, more visible !!! Let's do it.
Select use customized color style
If I click the yellow circle icon, the details about this school clinic popup on left side panel, which is not blocking the map view. Always 1 item exactly for what point you click, never show nearby other unwanted layer's items.
Official HRSA's popup window always block the map view, which is very annoying !!!
Also if I click 1 five star icon, the popup showing 4 different attribute details, only 1 is what I am looking for, the other 3 items are unwanted harrashing me. One of the item is not for clinic, it is for zip code polygon if you loop through all 4 item. I have to guess which item is the right one, I never know.
Option 2
use NO.14 which is server side map image layer labeling, the label is actually generated remotely on arcgis server, not in your browser. It is just a different way of display label.

Again
Official HRSA's little five star symbol is horrible to see, too small !!!! Without above I created client side label, I can't even find them on map !!!!
How about make five star larger, light color, more visible !!! Let's do it.
Select use customized color style
If you click yellow circle on map image, popup details with only 1 item, no unwanted other item, no guess, just the clinic you clicked. popup on left side panel, no block map view
