- Icon will always remain the same width and height, if you want an icon scaled to the map, use:
(sizeInMeters * 0.15) * 10^(abs log (ctrlMapScale _ctrl))
for width and height (guessimated). - Posted on July 20, 2014 - 16:59 (UTC)

- If you want only text with no icon, you can use "#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,0)" as texture.

Arma 3 1.54
This command does not seem to play nice with onEachFrame. It seems to draw on the main screen while maintaing position relative to the map position
Example:onEachFrame { findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 drawIcon ['iconStaticMG',[1,0,0,1],getPos player,24,24,getDir player,'Player Vehicle',1,0.03,'TahomaB','right']; };
