I, personally, do'nt ever see myself using a Reflection Map. When I have a reflective material in my scene I want evertything in my scene reflecting off of that. If I were to use a Reflection Map, that Map would need to be updated, each time something in the scene was moved, or added!

Where do you find "reflective" materials? I've never heard of that before.  The only way I know how to achieve reflection is with the reflection node or fresnel effect that Bagginsbill posted.  And that is applied to any material you want to apply it to, such as a floor or a wall if you want a reflection to appear there.
