Quality of life suggestions: minimap and checkpoints near waypoints

I would like if the minimap (in the upper right corner) could be zoomed out more so I could see the layout of the whole map. Currently the zoom seems about the same as the overlay map, but cropped much smaller which makes it not very useful to navigate, so I end up having to use the overlay map which covers up this beautiful game more than I would prefer.

Also it would be nice if discovering checkpoints near waypoints automatically gives you access to the waypoint even if the waypoint is in an adjacent zone. This would save a lot of loading screens. For example when you are in the Grelwood and happen to find The Grim Tangle, right now it's best to enter The Grim Tangle to get the waypoint so you can waypoint back to it later after you use the rune spikes. My suggestion is to have discovering the checkpoint in Grelwood near The Grim Tangle grant you access to the The Grim Tangle waypoint. This is relevant if the Grelwood map resets while you're doing The Red Vale because then you'll have to find The Grim Tangle again if you just got the checkpoint and not the actual waypoint. Another example is finding Ogham Farmlands before you find Freythorn as it's currently best to enter Ogham Farmlands, get the waypoint, then go back to Hunting Grounds to finish doing Freythorn or whatever you haven't done in Hunting Grounds yet in case Hunting Grounds resets while you're doing Freythorn.

Overall really enjoy the game and mainly spend time playing through the campaign on hardcore.
