Never seen this before, a man on a map?

[DarkFireTorch 9]

I was looking at my daily map check on Stary, and I see a orange dot with man on it, what is this? Never seen it before.

When you see someone, it'll show on map.

When you spot zombies for etc. it'll show up on map. Survivors as-well.

Some servers allow for map markers for entities such as these.

Also, "man" is usually a zombie

Usually, or always? Its really close and I hope it isn't a survivor or a bandit.

I think it shows the last known position.

Usually another player shows up blue and is listed as 'survivor' or 'sniper' (if they are wearing a Ghillie suit)

Orange dots are zombies.. scared the hell out of me once when I looked at my map and saw 3 orange dots pointed in my direction.. I thought I was being stalked. :P
