Yes but the existing logo is cryptic enough not to make people think 
"yeah, flagging POIs on a map, lots of people do that".

Plus, the old logo didn't claim that it was "reducing the amount of 
representation to the absolute essence in order to work right" and then 
choose the wrong essence.

If the logo is to be changed then it would have to be for something 
which is a big improvement. Your logo may "work" from a graphic 
designer's point of view put it has no heart nor soul. For me, using 
your logo would not be any different from simply downloading something 
that looks somewhat like a map from a clipart gallery and use that.
