Crista Borras and Chuck Wood (applause!!!) have pre-ridden the route, and the cue sheet and GPS file reflect that pre-ride. However, it is always possible that late-breaking road news will occur and the final cue sheet will differ; and possibly the late-breaking news will come too late for GPS updates. So …
Always get a copy of the final cue sheet. That final cue sheet contains the official route, so in case there is a conflict with the GPS file, you should resolve the conflict in favor of the cue sheet. Use the GPS as a handy-dandy adjunct. Keep your wits about you, as the GPS cannot notify you of road hazards — it is up to you to ride safely.
By the way … make sure that your GPS either has maps already downloaded, or select the relevant maps around the routes.
