Let me write "maybe" on the map
Preset icons make me classify a place before I know what it is.
I like game maps that let me be uncertain.
Preset markers usually ask me to classify a place before I understand it: treasure, boss, locked door. Sometimes all I know is that a cliff looked climbable and I was being chased by something unpleasant. I want to drop a plain pin and write, "check the rocks behind the goat."
A map could keep its tidy icons and add a short text field. It doesn't need simulated handwriting or forty colors. One ugly pin is enough.
Later I might find a cave entrance. More likely, I would discover that the mysterious ruin was decorative masonry and delete the note with mild embarrassment. I would use that pin constantly, mostly for things that turn out not to matter.
