Resource visibility on Gigantic maps

Am I the only one having this problem?

Would it be at all possible to make resources a bit more visible on the minimap?

On a small map its pretty easy to spot them, but on a Gigantic size map I find that even if I go through the process of zooming in, fiddling the filters, and scanning all over my empire, sometimes I'll end up missing a resource or two-- a fact which I will only realize once I encounter an enemy starbase, happily mining away.

Grr.

I find myself wishing that maybe resources were represented by larger (maybe differently colored?) dots on the minimap, or there was an option to make them blink, or something.

Have you tried zooming out the main map? I find on larger maps that zooming out until it goes to the 'abstract' display is an excellent way of keeping track of things like this.
