This would be good. Or even just dots for every npc that has conversaton options.

The automap feature isn't used, because you have infinite FoV for map purposes already anyways. In FOnline-games, the automap should have some kind of a motion scanner installed as default, which would give you some kind of a look from behind the walls and what's happening there.
Personally, I could see lots of new uses for automap+motion scanner feature as a combat class even, if there would be some kind of a perk (for high-PE scouts with lots of outdoorsman-knowledge only) which would increase the effectiveness of your motion scanner greatly. Then we would have atleast one scout in the team, looking at his map when he's not fighting.

This sounds good, being able to "mark" positions in your map, just like in here. New players (who somehow are rather unexperienced with FO1/2) would be able to mark shop vendors, doctors and other kinds of places worth noting.

I used to use the map and still do sometimes in some places with lots of buildings on a large map, I get confused sometimes if I havn't been there for a while. The map makes it quite easy to navigate around and see where your current posistion is. I also like how it gives the top down perspective of the map and the simple lines and dots look nice to me for some reason.
Some new features to the map to make it more useful would be nice.

This would be the best way to put it in use, but not necessary. Otherwise the gameplay is so centered around the general overview that map is hardly needed.

I wonder how this new UI would work with a sensor module lol.
This map would be useful if it had the names of the areas or buildings, like BANK, shop, peculiar npcs, etc.
