Changing the pinpointer to warmer/colder would still be a bit too much help, I think. As it would still be a great visual aid.
If it was more of a device that required some input and then based on that input gave you an approximate location, I think it would be more fair.
Like if the disk was at 60x120y then the device would say it is within 20x70y and 100x170y. But the results should be able to be tuned to be more accurate somehow.
Either by just solving straight up random math problems, or doing some shenanigans with a gps. Or maybe it just steadily grows more accurate over time.
That way hiding it will still give the crew some time before it is found, but it will be found eventually.
Moving the disk a great distance should throw the device off a bit though. But not too much.
Needlessly complicated? I just think that the pinpointer is what wins the game for the agents 99.99% of the time.
So it would be fun if it took some effort to operate efficiently.
