Then I found the following undesired behaviours about this property:
1/ First of all, the vanilla car and tank seems not having this property defined at all. (In contrast, vanilla locomotive, wagons and Spidertron all have this property defined.) Even though this alone is not a problem, please see point 3.
2/ The "default" triangle used on vanilla car and tank seems not appearing in base/graphics nor core/graphics at all. (In contrast, vanilla locomotive, wagons and Spidertron all have their graphics.) Even though this alone is not a problem, please see point 3.
3/ With points 1 and 2 combined, I cannot adjust the scale of the default triangle on my tanks. (In contrast, it can be done on Spidertron as both the property and graphics are present.)
4/ The default triangle seems to be hardcoded drawn for Prototype/Car??? When I have minimap_representation set (see my following photos, the four tanks are using different "scale"), the default triangle is still drawn. The worst thing is that the triangle was drawn ON TOP my custom icon. So I cannot use my larger to cover the hard-coded triangle.

1/ Vanilla car and tank will have minimap_representation defined. (Just like what were done on vanilla locomotive, wagons and Spidertron.)
2/ The triangle png appears in some subfolder of base/graphics or core/graphics for vanilla or any mods to make use of.
4/ The hardcoded triangle is not needed if 1 and 2 are done. OR, just draw the triangle if and only if minimap_representation is undefined, to preserve compatibility. (Since most vehicle mods have this property undefined.)
