My own character has no arrow/pointer on the map representing his position.
In the beginning of the game there was no arrow/pointer-issue but recently (in the last game-days) it just keeps disappearing. (screenshot from game-time:1st year, 27th in summer in Pumpkinvale).
Restarting the game doesn't solve the problem.
I experienced the same. Even while the map was opened and I walked around he arrow just disappeared, came back and went away again.
Bug and error is the wrong thing that happen all the time with the system that create the stuff like burden in the system. The pumpkin website is presenting the picture of finance homework help in missing arrow that is creating the situation with the long term idea way.
