This may or may not be an "Off Topic" issue. I'm trying to find out technical details as to how Carbonite's two map views work in conjunction with Zygor's system.
Here's the problem:
-- Carbonite claims that it has only 1 Carbonite map, but that map can be displayed as a larger map view or a smaller map view (of the same Carbonite map).
-- The larger view of the Carbonite map is not the same thing as Blizzard's default large map!
(The larger view of the Carbonite map has its own API).
-- The smaller view of the Carbonite map is not the same thing as Blizzard's default Minimap!
(Supposedly, Carbonite's smaller view uses the same API as Carbonite's larger view of the Carbonite map). This gets confusing!
-- Zygor puts a green 'dot'/'blob' on the larger Carbonite map view [and Blizzard's Minimap] to indicate a spot to travel to.
-- However, that same 'dot'/'blob' is NOT displayed on the smaller view of the Carbonite map, even while Blizzard's Main Map, Blizzard's Minimap, and Carbonite's larger map view all display it.
I'm wondering if it's Zygor's code not allowing it to be displayed on Carbonite's smaller map view, or if it's Carbonite's mapping system not allowing it to be displayed?
It's extremely important to me to see the same 'dot/blob' on the smaller Carbonite map view just as it is seen on the larger Carbonite map view, since the Carbonite larger map view is not opened (viewed) on my screen nearly as often as the Carbonite smaller map view one is.
NOTE:
I'm asking here first (instead of on WoWInterface/Carbonite forum) because the issue I'm asking about is Zygor's green "dot" or "blob." I thought someone here would have the expertise to answer this question before I ask it on their forum. At least, maybe I can gain some insight as to what is actually preventing the 'dot/blob' from appearing on each of the two Carbonite map views.

I've asked repeatedly on the Carbonite forum about this issue, but I seem to be getting 'double-talk.' Some users are saying that it's Zygor's responsibility to add code so that Zygor's quest blob appears on both views of the Carbonite map. I have yet to get a clear, definitive answer from anyone. The maintainer of the Carbonite addon will not respond, but other users are trying to guess at how it's supposed to work the way I want it to.
Note: Again, I have to mention that I do not want to merge the Blizzard Minimap into the Carbonite map.
