Improving minimaps discussion

Hi, I would like this thread to be a discussion on how to improve minimaps, this is not a feature request thread, just a way to share ideas on what's doable or not to improve them.

Note that I am not a minimap addon author myself because I don't think there's a need for a new minimap addon unless introducing something revolutionary new.

So here is my first idea:
The town / zone maps have blank zones on the edges which make them weird to use as minimaps especially when your character is located in these.
With the emergence of higher definition world maps like:
HighlyDetailedWorldMap
or maybe
AccurateWorldMap
wouldn't it be better to use the world map tiles of these addons to display a minimap without blank parts/ edges limit ? (maybe just the few corresponding to the zone to avoid loading too much)
Asking the devs : What would be the pro/cons of this idea?
