Trust your GPS. Guidebooks and signs probably like to lie to us. I was in Yosemite this summer, and went for a hike by the Hetch Hetchy dam. The guide book said I think a round trip of 3 miles, trailhead sign said 3.5 miles, and then the signs along the trail turned it into 4 miles. Didn't have a GPS, but that surely would have said something different. It has literal eyes in the sky though, so I'd go with that. Plus, it's more impressive.
