Villages GPS 4+

Look at the map, don’t listen to the instructions

The GPS program has driven me crazy and gotten me turned around many times until I finally learned that when it says to turn left or right that does not necessarily mean that you’re going to actually make a right or left turn! It could be just a curve in the road/path. Also when the GPS says turn left or turn right with no street name, I’ve learned that it means you are to turn onto a multi modal path not an actual street! So now that I’ve learned all that, I’m a little bit more sane when I’m following the GPS…but I do turn down the sound and just look at the map. That’s my recommendation for new users.

Like having a personal guiding star.

This a very intuitive and user friendly app. I have spent a lifetime living in a city that is a simple grid layout and without GPS traveling to new places can be confusing. And that is just using roadways now there is a major network of beautiful golf cart paths to explore.
Entering an address is simple and using the preloaded destinations for shopping, country clubs, golf courses town squares are just a few screen touch away.
As a new full time Villages villa owner this GPS makes me feel “at home”. I travel this paradise with confidence. A trip by cart or car to a Town Square, a Rec Center, a golf course or a shopping run is a breeze.
I have seen some great scenery, nature and wildlife. It has taken me through places I never saw during the Lifestyle experience. Almost I every I discover something new.

The Best!

This app is a must for anyone living or even vacationing in The Villages. It’s good with information about different locations around the community. Where it excels and is a must have is GPS navigation in a golf cart. The Villages is so vast and so many miles of golf cart paths. The app provides everything you are used to in a mapping app but for golf carts. Turn by turn navigation and ETA are the biggest. (It also does time/directions to locations in a car but I just use my standard navigation for that.)

Some of the other features may be great. I just don’t use them. The navigation alone makes this app a winner. I wish I could give it more stars! Do not worry about the $7 price. It will be the best $7 you will ever spend!
