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.

Just a little precision to KK's first comment, this command expects PositionASLW over the sea, not regular ASL. Luckily, modelToWorld returns ATL over land and ASLW over sea, so if you want the icon to stay the the same place, you should use this snippet to find the correct position:

_pos = visiblePositionASL _object; _pos set [2, (_object modelToWorld [0,0,0]) select 2];
