The GPS units, garmin etc, all do this as the consider the point you are at and the next point you want to goto. It is not a charting program so it just makes a straight line as you have stated. What you can do is program in a route, thus you are setting multiple waypoints. While this can be done on the unit itself, it is easier to buy Mapsource (for garmin) sit at your computer and set your routes. These can then be downloaded into your GPS unit.
