What is this white circle thing?

Pops up on the mission map occasionally, and disappears just as quickly.

I noticed it too, and I have no idea. It looks like some kind of point of entry, but it didn't actually point to my target's destination; it was just in the middle of the map.

I think it is supposed to be a cursor for controller interaction with the map. Do you have a controller or joystick plugged in that might be giving sporadic inputs?

Just stick and throttle - and the axes aren't 'noisy' as far as I can tell.

I just tried to provoke the circle into appearing by moving everything that can move, but no joy.

maybe there's a key-bind for controlling the cursor using a device

For me the white circle moves down to the bottom right from time to time (and then jumps back to middle and does it again).
When this happens, the settings page sees the same behavior where the cursor scrolls from top to bottom.
It happens after alt-tabbing out of the game to access something on my second monitor. Not sure why though.
Same bug is mentioned here:
