Despite years (decades) of ignored user requests for this, a couple of months ago Garmin released the new 1050 with a BIGGER user location symbol / cursor on the Map screen and also foreshadowed that many of the 1050 software features would migrate to the x40 devices. I raised a request in the then current 23.xx beta for the migrated features to include the BIGGER cursor. This request quickly gathered 31* "up-votes" indicating other beta user support for this request. (*31 being the highest, by far, amount of support for any beta request in the previous 2 years.)
The 23.x beta was closed and the 24.x beta opened (I assume so the betas for 1040 & 1050 could be aligned) but this meant users could no longer support the 23.x request. I therefore raised a new 24.x request that again quickly attracted another 30+ "up-votes" but there have been 7 beta versions since and still no BIGGER cursor.
The recent 24.15 beta looks to me like a late / final beta before a production release (despite still having many issues) so it you want a BIGGER cursor your opportunity to support the request may be closing.
If you want a BIGGER cursor like the 1050 (see below) then go to this beta request,
20 September 2024 update: The 24.x beta has ended with the 24.18/19 production version releases, Garmin has closed comments & up-voting on 24.xx beta items. A Garmin staff member has contacted me to advise they will raise a "case" regarding a larger cursor for the 1040 like on the 1050 and add links to the beta proposals as supporting items. If I hear anything more I will keep you up to date. The final up-vote count was 110, (over 5 times any previous request item in the last 2 years), plus 31 up-votes for the original request in the previously closed 23.x beta section.
