GPS route using "No Left Turn" algorithm?

Anyone know of a GPS unit or app that plots a route with no left turns? (probably everyone is doing this except me):(

This would be especially useful when navigating large cities.

UPS has huge success using this algorithm. Why not the rest of us?

  • The DW and I just finished a professional driving two day lesson for RV's. We now prefer left turns over sharp right turns in tight spots. A sharp right turn when you cannot "cheat" into ether lane on the left of the turn can be impossible and require you and other traffic to wait, which is not always possible.
  • does this mean that New Jersey actually did something right with their Jug-handle turns?
    bumpy

    How does that work when coming to a T intersection?
    well, sooner or later....
