AVIC-D1 automatic maps zoom

Hey guys,

I am new to this forum, but I am not new to car audio.  Anyways, I recently installed the AVIC-D1 in my 2001 Honda Accord V6 Coupe.  Like the system but there are a handful of places that it could be better.

Does anyone know how to make my the AVIC-D1 automatically zoom-out and zoom-in based on the speed of my car (as I speed up zoom-out, as I slow down zoom-in).  My old Garmin Nav used to do this and I found it really helpful.  Right now I have to zoom manually whenever I drive which sucks.

Also, when I lookup a list of places in the Vicinity POIs, I want the list ordered by driving distance (with distances listed in miles).  Any ideas on how to do this?  For example, if I am looking for the closest Home Depot, the list of them in the Vicinity should be ordered by driving distance.  Then, I would like all items on the list displayed on the map.  Then I could just select from the map which one I want to go to.

Seems like the AVIC-D1 is not very programmable by the user.  I would like to customize it to my exact Navi preferences.

Also, the guidance voice used by this unit sounds slightly distorted and staticy.  It is only noticeable to the discerning ear, but it is pretty annoying to me.

It plays music with no distortion, and I have no grips about that.  I think it is a software thing, and the sound files pioneer uses for the voice are crappy.  I want pioneer to send out a firmware upgrade to clean up the guidance voice.  It should not be too difficult to do.

Personally I wish I could download different voices for my navi off the web.  I think that would be a nice touch (kinda like a personalized ring tone on your cell).
