Swap the pin marker for a rounded-square badge
CI / check (push) Successful in 43s

The National Park Service frames its own map symbols (the icons already
vendored in for POI categories) in a rounded square, not a pin — pairing a
pin shape with NPS-style pictograms looked like two mismatched icon
conventions. Switched the marker to a rounded square to match.

This also simplifies the placement code: a pin has to anchor at its tip, so
the category glyph on top needed an offset computed from the pin/glyph
geometry to land in the pin's head. A square has no tip — both the badge and
the glyph layer just center directly on the coordinate with no offset math
at all.
