- 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).

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

- Be careful when using this command. Unlike map markers, the draw commands can decrease your framerate.

Arma 3 1.54
This command doesn't 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']; };

If you unPBO the following addon:
@ui_f_data.pboYou can find the possible icons inside this folder:
ui_f\data\map\vehicleicons
For example:
If you want to use "iconman_ca.paa" you will write "iconman" on the texture string.
