The Map and Auto Pilot

I wondered what people thought about the implementation of this idea:

Being able to save certain routes, that you create via the waypoints feature on the map, to an autopilot folder.

Some further expansion on the idea:

Got two or three trade routes that you regularly use that go through multiple stopping points on the map that aren't quite A - to - B - to - C?
Open the Autopilot folder, select route.

Want to take your corp full of newbies in Rifters on a suicide roam along the edge of the Highsec/Low Sec/Null Sec border going through key systems that guarentee your honourable fight/untimely death?
Pre plan your route and save it to the Autopilot Folder. On the night of the Op, Open the Autopilot Folder, Drag and Drop the relevent route into the fleet chat window when you're ready to go. Fleet members get a link they can right click to "Set Route to Autopilot" or left click on to see the World Map pop up with the route shown.

Do lots of different things in Eve that require organisation of different routes?
Different subfolders within the Autopilot Folder (Trade Routes, PVP Roams, Jump Bridge Locations, X number of POS that needs fueling etc)

Perhaps the idea could be expandable to a corp folder as well?

Feedback would be appreciated.
