Locked Cam and the Mini Map

When ever I lock the cam to a unit, the mini map becomes unavailable to select and use to move around on.

Is there some way to unlock the mini map?

When you lock a camera onto a unit, why would you want the player to be able to move around the minimap?

Who is this small world cares why I want the mini map active when I lock the cam to a unit. Its simple really. Because I want to.

Now! Can this be done. Can I lock a camera to a unit and continue to click on the mini map to move him long distances instead of clicking in front of the unit 100000000 times to get him from point a to point b?

In one of my maps, I developed a trigger for camera control that allows mini map control after locking to a unit. Yeah!

But, I dunno why the damn mini map is working. Nothing I did within the triggers even comes close modifying mini map. Just Camera angle. Perhaps thats the reason.

The real ring dinger is, its not the kind of camera angle I'm after :-( Any new discoveries on this topic would sure be appreaciated and helpful to continue to find the best way to angle the cam and get the mini map to work. Thanks
