How about buzzing around a city sending back views of the streets ahead to my mobile phone showing me places I might like to visit - or the way back to the station / hotel etc. Could save a lot of leg-work.

they could be given the ability to detect chemical signatures of explosives and sent in to a house or urban setting to find bombs.
they could sent into a collapsed mine to find if there is an ever-so-small path through to trapped miners.
as mentioned, they could be used as an inconspicuous spy drone or tracker...
