Always.
I'm security and there's no way to hide from the Mini-map. Even Lindens show on the mini-map *grins*

I've used it occasionally while flying.

and I find the green T and _|_ helpful too. Though occasionally you can misread them...
(I once spent some time digging into an underwater reef to find what I thought was a murder mystery - "The Buried Avatar" - only to realise it was someone in a skybox waaaaay above me).

What I want to know though is why after YEARS of bug reporting it, the avatar dot is outlined with a dark circle so it is vsiable on any color background but the T and upside down T aren't so you can't see them easily half the time Its the /simplest/ bug fixes that LL seems to ignore the most  |

My favorite use for the Mini-Map is to get myself off and out of the way of a TP landing point, without mowing down other avatars in the process. Unless the LZ is very crowded, it's an amazingly simple way to make room while waiting for my poor little machine to catch up with my new surroundings.
It's also a good way of seeing whether there's anyone around me, and orienting myself for navigation and building. (Umpteen thanks to the gracious Dnali Anabuki, who introduced me to that last use... it's proven to be quite handy!)
