I note that some base camp icons have a small compass needle icon hovering over them. Particularly those I have just left.

I'm puzzled by this.  Does anyone know what the small compass icon signifies?  It doesn't appear to make any difference to anything in the game as far as I can tell.

Off top of my head the compass icon represents where the next story progression happens or something.

Only compass that I know of.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.

It's not the large one with the yellow rose around it that shows one where to go next, it's a modified white base camp icon with a smaller Compass needle (without the yellow rose) above it.  It seems to be only the base camps that I have just used and left behind that have it.

This image has one you can look at, just to the right of the middle near a tomb entrance with a circle around it -

I remember that one. Never gave it much thought when I played. Could it be just a marker showing the last camp you used/saved at maybe? Being it appears at camps you just left?

Yes, that must be it.  I've just got Fast Travel enabled.  Will be interesting to see if it still appears and under what circumstances.

Cheers

Exactly. It should be the camp you just left so you can easily find your way back and pick up where you left off.
