So what would be the purpose of putting "VFR GPS" in the remarks section
for
such flights?


I usually start out filing mostly direct (other than through the passes
and mountains). ATC always says no and gives a bunch of airways
depending on where all the jet arrivals are. Having "VFR GPS" seems to
help in that the controllers will often offer me ad-hoc "short cuts" in
the airway routing when there are holes in the arrivals.


Filing mostly direct (other than through the passes and mountains) should be
enough to tell the controller you can navigate direct.
