Yeah, it makes sense and would be doable by lowering the weights of the 
graph arcs in the routing algorithm for every uploaded route, or add a 
new arc for every uploaded route, with a lowered weight.

However, besides from being a cool research project... what problem does 
it *solve*? Why would *I* be interested in uploading routes to such a 
service?
