How can I draw the location marker accurately? My shapes are looking wonky.

Draw a Circle
Use the Curvature Tool
Generally using the Curvature Tool creates a curve line segment.
Position the cursor over the Point and double-click to convert it to a Corner point.
You can add more points (anchors) bend to form the shape with ease

One possibility:

draw a circle
choose the Anchor Point Tool (CC) | Convert Anchor Point Tool (former name)
convert the bottom anchor (click on it)
choose the Direct Selection Tool
select (only) the bottom anchor point and move it down (while additional holding Shift )

if needed - rotate you "location marker" as desired
