Get rid of the huge arrow on the "MAP"

Please replace the big arrow with a red dot or something. I bet it's been mentioned plenty of times but just wondering why it isn't implemented. I think it would definitely help when re-entering the track because it's really hard to see someone close with the arrow covering half that area of the track.

Decent idea actually

Sometimes it can be annoying, but the arrow makes you really easy to see and compare yourself against the leader as well. If you have another choice, I'd like to toggle either Arrow or Dot, so you can choose.

Why would a red dot make that any different? Unless you play on an iPhone screen

Haven't tried a red to, but currently the arrow is "so big" so it's super easy to spot, and since I know roughly where the leader should be, it's super fast to find him since I found my arrow

And I play relatively close to my 24" screen

I'm not asking to change it so you can see the leader, I'm asking so you can see where the closest rider is on the track. Sometimes these sections are very fast and you don't have time to hear them coming, and the arrow covers a section of the map so you can't see how close they are. In a race situation you glance up before you re-enter the track and if someone isn't directly behind you you jump back on, but hey sometimes they're a lot closer than you originally thought. When you pay $25 to race and something that stupid can cause you to get banned, you should fix it.

I'm pretty sure JLV said the red arrow was a hard coded vector and it'd be a proper kunt to change.

DDavis I see where you're coming from, I just wanted to get my POV out there so it just won't be gone because no one said something. Your point is good too, I've thought about it myself before too.

Idk I agree with Devin we need I get rid of the arrow but I just went in single player and was stoked on how good the map looks blown up. 2016 Unadilla was the one I tested on.

Any chance we could get a screenie of what that looked like?

My map size is 2.3 or 2.4. I've used it since we could change it. I haven't found it to be too big or too small but that might be just me.

I like the arrow but i feel its to wide, if it were more a stick i think it would be okay, but i would also be okay with a red dot, but sometimes when i get lost the arrow is nice to point the right direction after getting up.
