A properly formatted cue sheet is a thing of beauty and extremely easy to use. Cue sheets are an art form which sadly, has been lost.
Total distance, distance to next turn, turn direction and road name are all extremely easy to incorporate. Distance to the next turn is a very useful piece of information, something which the GPS units I have seen lack.
Below is an example. Notice the "For" column in the linked PDF. It is often easier to navigate with a cue sheet such as this rather than a GPS. It allows me to enjoy the scenery rather than stare at a computer the whole ride.

noglider try this. Folded into a quarter page size, it is attached to the bike using a document clip held to the stem with a zip tie.
