I'm pretty sure the dot only has 2 sizes so nothing much will happen until you get within 1027 blocks.

If you get north of the map's area then the dot would start moving along the north edge of the map, then you should head south instead of south west.

Alternatively, if the dot starts moving down the east edge you should shift to going west.

More than 1027 blocks, if you were closer the white dot would be larger.

Can't say any closer than that, it could be just over 1027 blocks or it could be 10,000-20,000 blocks, woodland mansions are pretty rare.

When you get even closer the map starts to fill in around your position.

Travel south west. Maps work just like a normal world map would. Top is north, right is east, bottom is south and left is west. In this case you are in the upper right, so you would need to travel to the bottom (south) left (west).
