I'm pretty sure the GSI can be turned off in the menu if it annoys you. Despite it telling you to shift gears at such low speeds, it's actually very clever, it knows the minimum speed the car can do in each gear without labouring the engine, and it also takes into account the engine temperature so you will see it tell you to change gear at higher revs when the engine is cold to warm it up quicker.
Going up hills? Well the car can't detect that, it's basing it's "suggestions" on the speed etc, it's up to you to spot the hills!
If i follow the GSI in non-sport mode in the A500, i'll be in 5th by 30 but the engine is fine, despite the revs being only 1500 RPM.
