Cue sheets don't help much if you miss a turn, but are better than maps to navigate while moving.

ridewithgps cue sheet lists usually need some cleanup to keep them short. Select the cue sheet text and paste into a spreadsheet. Then it's easy to edit. I'll drop unneeded entries, and bold face the critical turns that might be missed.

map printouts

I never use the ridewithgps map print function. The scale is usually too small to see the road names.

I've done screen captures of ridewithgps maps. I zoom in enough to show the street names on the map. It can take 3 pages to fit a vertically oriented 40 mile route, though.

Here's an example that just fits onto one 8 1/2 x 11 page at full size. I crop the screen capture, save as a jpg, then use Libre Office to paste it onto a blank page, and then export as a pdf. It's quite easy. It looks good in black and white from a laser printer.

At this scale, small roads within towns aren't labeled. But at least the major country roads all show up.
