Symbols for real-time visualization #3

Often I've found the available symbol options in ArcGIS products to be lacking for visualizing real-time data such as moving assets like vehicles, where the direction/heading of the feature is of interest.

I think including something akin to the compass or compass-north-circle from Calcite UI Icons would be a good basis. image image

It'd be incredible to have an aerial perspective of various vehicles available as point symbols in ArcGIS. The way moving vehicles are visualized in many rideshare apps is pleasing in my opinion, although I believe they use a set of static images that change based on the heading, however a silhouette version might still be useful.

These would be less useful when there are large clumps of points, but we often reach for Firefly symbols in those cases since the gradients help to blend them together.
