What I mean by this is triangulation of GPS coordinates to activate certain logic. So for example, when going on a known downhill incline, turn off the injectors and shutdown automatically. Then at the start of the incline, have the computer start up again at the correct location.
There have been a few threads on Eco cruise control in the past.

In most testing constant throttle, or even accelerating down hill seems to be much better for fuel economy.

GPS assisted cruse has the potential to be very useful, but is probably a good bit beyond my capabilities.
