If you are using an outside map, it'll show places on the map that are there in the "real world."
or maybe if it's an inside map that they pulled a portion from a larger map that has an elevator at/near that location.
Like, one that's clickable, or one that isn't? If not, are you sure that wasn't an elevator?

It didn't seem clickable. I didn't see an elevator and unlike an elevator I could see it even when the map was all blacked out when I first entered.
Sorry for the delay in replying back but the in-laws are around and I was getting drug around town and having to keep them occupied. 
It's also an inside map a mix of caves and tech stuff. Can't remember the name now but will check when I get a chance to get back in game.
Can you tell us which map it was specifically? I'd like to take a look.

After further investigation it is some kind of gate based on playing with the map options drop done. It leads me to a door into a room but the room will not open.
Thanks for the help.
I saw this on someone's council map that I was running. There was a green dot on where the Boss at the end was. It was there from the very beginning of the map.
It wasn't my mission though so I don't know exactly what the settings were.
I found a green dot in the BreakOut map, but it actually led somewhere.
Dec out.
I am working on my first arc and when I went in to test it there was a green dot on the map at the very back. It was near where the boss spawns when all the glowies have been interacted with but not quite where he spawns. It seemed to lead to a room with locked doors. Anyone have any thoughts?
Also while in test mode can you have teammates to help you test it out? Haven't tried it yet but was wondering. That way my boss could show as a boss instead of just a Lt.
