It's possible (quite easily, the main code should be only a few lines if you do it right) but it will look pretty ugly.

You'll have to account for widescreen mode (the radar is actually an egg on modern screens) and radar zoom if in a vehicle (velocity spikes are not really detectable, making the icons warp around asynchronous to the original radar).

I made something similar without the original radar as background some years ago, which looked okay (at 200ms update rate) but if I imagine the original map behind it, it just doesn't match especially with the lower update rate (you cannot go lower than 500ms because of the internal vector update rate when not spectating).

If you really don't mind all that or wanna see it yourself I can give you a code example how I made the custom radar which worked very well actually (considering it was made for a map editor, and not on top of a super smooth radar :P).
