Okay, I have just installed the app for the first time and I haven't even opened it but the icon looks to me totally like some former Google maps icon. You got the same rainbow colors and seemingly Google Maps pin. All I know is other apps' icons don't look so much like Google maps' etc. icons. Sure you could say it's not exactly like Google Maps' (current) icon but it sure gives the impression.

Maybe put a big O on top of it. But then of course it would look like Opera browser's icon.

In fact the icon also looks like Apple maps' icon.

The new icon will be this:

OK that's much different than Google Maps... too different.
Perhaps toss in a road or two, or some folded paper map, or
something to differentiate it from a soybean company.

I got it! Add a green globe, but "with leaking air: 1/3 deflated".
A flat-tire globe would certainly not be what a for-profit company would use,
therefore unique, and at the same time a little funny.

Or somehow combine

making the map pin into a balloon with the earth painted on it with a string etc.
