1. A method comprising:
- causing, at least in part, rendering of a plurality of points of interest on a mapping display of a user device based on location information associated with each of the points of interest;
receiving an input, from the device, for selecting a group of the points of interest on the mapping display;
causing, at least in part, capture of an image of the mapping display based on the input; and
causing, at least in part, display of the selected group of the points of interest as an overlay on the captured image,wherein the display of the selected group distinctly renders each of points of interest in the selected group.

Abstract
An approach is provided for decluttering a mapping display. A decluttering manager causes, at least in part, rendering of a plurality of points of interest on a mapping display of a user device based on location information associated with each of the points of interest. The decluttering manager receives an input, from the device, for selecting a group of the points of interest on the mapping display and captures an image of the mapping display based on the input. The decluttering manager then caused, at least in part, display of the selected group of the points of interest as an overlay on the captured image.
