What's that mod - zoom switches between world and map view

Hi, in many factorio vids people use a mod that, when you zoom out, at a certain point switches to a view that looks like the map but also has item symbols over assembly lines (e.g. an assembly line for green circuits has a green circuit symbol on it). It looks popular - what is it?
Thanks in advance.

This? It is built in feature under "Debug settings" (F4), and is called "show-recipe-icons-on-map"

No, this feature shows multiple individual icons; the one I saw shows 1 big icon for all the assembly line; also, that mod seemed to switch seamlessly between the normal world view and the map view, just based on how far the zoom is.

And/or vanilla's "Alt view" ?

This. Howto :
a) Display map
b) right-click where you want to put a tag
c) you should get this :

You can add text to (1) or leave it blank
You can add an icon to (2) by clicking into the empty box.
After that, in map mode, whenever zoomed out, you'll see your tag. whenever zoomed in, if within radar coverage, you'll see the actual factory.
