It's the "broken circle" I'am talking about. Those 4 you can see on the map. Where those are I have Unit Groups, except for the one near the grass location. My question is this: How can I remove these icons or marks?
AdrianXtra these are indeed unit groups and there is a simple solution to this ;-)
I assume your unit groups where created in the 'Object Groups' dialog found under 'Map -> Object Groups...' as i do not recall dynamic unit groups to have such a problem. The solution is to go the 'Object Groups' dialog, select each unit group that produces this error and for its icon select the icon 'Assets/Textures/black.dds'. Because black in this situation means transparent, the unit group symbols on the map should disappear.
Okay I have to thank AIAIkemist for your post. I knew it was my unit groups producing this icon but had no idea how to get rid of it.
To inform other about why this happened. Blizzard about 2 months ago updated the unit groups to appear on the mini map with a single dot. At the new year they updated them again to have them show a icon. I believe this is only a problem on older maps although i have not tested it.

I have a problem. The minimap is showing the Unit Groups I have created..
Have a look at this: http://gyazo.com/c3f458cbbf6db7a672f20ff2140b74b8
There is nothing else there, no doodads, only units in every unit group.
Picture of location to different unit groups: http://gyazo.com/4e353eb642c0d1f9b02d9c1954240a2d http://gyazo.com/28a28be842a58b1c4b1af75cf2927ddb
It's just two examples. Again, there is nothing there, but the unit groups..
/Confused..
Thanks for all help!
Not a single answer in 31 hours :P
Could it be that a Unit Group has an icon by default? If so, where can I disable it?
I know that the icon is referenced in game UI data, but that shouldn't be the problem. :S
@AdrianXtra: Go
The mini map does not show "unit groups"
the mini map shows individual units.
Your screen shots look like the map is doing exactly as it should.
Your question makes no sense to be honest.
The images you have linked do not indicate any kind of problem regarding units on map to what is displayed on the mini map.
what in that mini map image do you think should not be on the mini map?
Not sure what the egg looking icons are from but im assuming you have some unit set to have that as its mini map icon.
All the other white minimap blips are from structures and such
Maybe I was a little bit unclear.. :)
