it actually uses both it's own internal map that is built from the full map, and the real minimap and displays both at the same time... by default usually when outdoors the "real" minimap is a circle in the middle of the carbonite map set at 50% transparency, that was the transparency bug I encountered, as it can no longer be transparent at all when in a town or else it goes black... this has been a bug in the wow minimap for ages (and why it "docks" and goes to no transparency when ever you go inside a building) and has just gotten worse with the MoP beta. On the plus side, unlike on live.. for some reason on the beta it looks fine set to no transparency.

With what I have now, it's always displaying the full "real" minimap and is zoomable in and out across any part of the world like it should be. This works everywhere, every continent, including MoP zones.

What I don't have is the carbonite outter map that goes around the real minimap, and also provides the points of interest... that one only seems to be working in outlands and northrend. But if you set your minimap dock to "full" so it covers the carbonite portion of the map, it works everywhere.
