"No local missions" and speed lock

When in speed lock, if you attempt to look for a mission, you receive a notification that there are no nearby missions. When there really are no nearby missions. You recieve the same notification. I think that should change.

Preferably, I'd like the speed lock to just not apply to mission selection. But alternately, a message saying you are going too fast to show nearby missions would be desirable.

While I could go to the Intel map, or a third party to plan out my missions, I prefer to just see what I can do, and stay in the game. When I am in a new area, I often have to wait, and verify that speed lock isn't an issue before I can even see whether or not there are any missions. If I'm a passenger, that prevents me from realizing locations where I could go missions later on.

Selecting a mission while driving, or even while walking is hard enough. I always stop, and find a bit of shade so I can read through the list. I can't imagine very many people would try to select missions while moving unsafely, nor are they likely to want to.

Most missions will be gone from scanner range long before you could hack a portal at speedlock speeds, and even if you tried... in speed lock, you can't hack, capture, upgrade, or link portals. Nor would you have the time to enter correct passphrases.

It seems to me that the speed lock on missions really doesnt do anything but hurt people who are trying to find places where they could do missions.
