The locator map and locator pins

Locator maps in Minecraft java edition should be able to create a icon like the one below, so that players can find their way around easily, even if they are using a large map.

I suggest the this icon like mark should appear on the map if the player right clicks a specific block, this pin will appear on the location ,where the player right clicked.and if that specific block is right clicked again using the locator map the locator pin in the locator map disappears.

Otherwise, you could use a cartography table to add or remove locator pins by right clicking the point on the locator map ,where the locator pin should be and by right clicking again locator pin will disappear.

A locator map can have 4 locator pins for each level the map is zoomed.

It would be good if u can dye locator pins with the dye by putting the dye into the second slot of the cartography table and left clicking on the locator pins.

    I tend to play Bedrock on iOS, but across platforms it may be useful to have a wider variety of map pin styles and colors to mark locations for different purposes (i.e. villages in friendly territory, resourcing sites, hazards, points of interest, etc.). A common convention for providing input to label pins between PC and mobile would also be helpful.
