My son uses routes too all the time for our rides. But I never understand why since we are fully familiar with where we are going. However I have been on organized rides with him and he'd claim we needed to turn, but I knew the route and we didn't. On those same rides where he was showing a false turn, we also witnessed others that made the turn. Presumably something bad in the course file the organizer provided.
There is a few other reasons to follow a route on a ride you already know. One is climbpro feature which assists with pacing on a climb as well you and run your eta for completion as well. I rarely use it but may on a long 3,000 ft climb close to home.
