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.
