As command syntax indicates, this command expects icon position in format Position meaning that over the land it expects PositionATL and over the sea PositionASL. Use additional ASLToATL and ATLToASL commands wherever is necessary. Alternatively use getPos or position commands, which will automatically adjust Z. To draw smooth moving icon for a moving object use visiblePosition and visiblePositionASL accordingly.

This command works well with addon textures, however getting it to display mission textures is a bit tricky. Follow this guide:
