Personally, I like to turn off map icons and navigate using terrain features and realistic navigation.
On larger maps, when every airport has its own beacon, never mind any radio stations or ships with beacons, it's a chore to scroll through all of them just to find the one you're looking for.
I suggest using the frequency menu(Tab->9) to list all beacons that apply to the player, so they can be switched to directly. To switch back to comms, the player can either scroll to beacon(none), or switch directly to the "friendly"(Or "enemy") frequency.
