Yes I think using a GPS could be a good way to address the problem of low-traffic routes tending to have lots of turns.

Sounds like Bacciagalupe and me and the website owner are in pretty close agreement about what the website is about. It's not intended to solve all possible bicycling route-finding problems. One of the problems it's not good for is finding low-traffic routes in urban and residential areas.
