Not sure if this is working as intended, however, when a locator map is copied (so that multiple players on SMP world can explore and update the map together), the profile image of the other players will overlay the current user's locator pointer making it impossible to tell which direction you are pointing.

It would appear that perhaps the intended functionality is that other player's profile image should never overlay atop the current player's pointer. Could you please confirm if this is a bug or if it is working as intended.

Can you also confirm if there is a way for the Admin/OP user to disable the locator arrows turning into the profile image of the player when in close proximity?
