If I were to take a stab, I would suggest they have been flagged with a new icon code, that's not appearing

See similar at Auckland, NZ when the new changes rollout started a few nights ago

Probably correct as I see there is a new icon for balloons - there's one over north Western Australia inland from Port Hedland at the moment.

BUt a balloon would just need one icon, I presume people to have ground vehicles with icons that look a bit like what they are and also travelling in the right direction (though - thinkg about it - they spend most of their time stationary)

The new icons are visible now, but they are shit ugly and big.
Why not make something similar as a helicopter, only using a car silhouette?

Beginning to get used to ground tanks!

Agree. These absurd icons just clutter the map at busy airports even more. I know a few people here like to watch ground vehicles - why I'm not sure as I thought the name of the game was watching planes - but how many users in the broader community would miss the bloody things if they just vanished or were represented as something tiny like the helicopter as you suggest.

Watching planes...observing things aviation related. I don't know if you can separate them (One man's meat etc). I quite enjoy watching a 'ground tank' pushing an aircraft back, at the moment, anyway ;-) .

Perhaps we need a new app to go with FlightRadar24 - GroundRadar24

with icons for steps, tankers, fire trucks etc. - and a generic plane icon.
