Where does this arrow on the map point?
'Indica' — IN-di-ca. Stress on the first syllable; hard 'c' before 'a'.
Ask when a map has directional arrows that are unclear in meaning — tourist route arrows, emergency exit arrows, or trail markers that you cannot interpret without context.
'Indica' is the third person singular of 'indicare' (to indicate, to point). 'Sulla mappa' (on the map) — 'su + la'. 'Dove indica' (where does it point) asks about the destination of an arrow. Useful in combination with pointing at the specific arrow in question.

Coastal Italian tourist areas often produce colour-coded walking maps with separate arrow systems for different routes: blue for beach routes, red for inland paths, green for nature trails. The APT office in any resort town distributes these free of charge.
