Any advise for people (that would be me) who has absolutely no sense of direction. I have a navigator (Garmin) and use it routinely even if I know where I'm going.

How long does it take the less than average person (who can't read a map) to find their way around TV? I assume the navigator won't work on golf carts going through tunnels, etc. I can just picture myself going round and round and round those roundabouts never to find my way home!
I think in the website www.thevillages.net I found a map of the major streets in TV. This will get you at least closely to where you want to be.

Try to remember that Morse Blvd. is the North/South artery through TV. It Will take you out to 441/27 and south to 466a. 466 is the East/West route which takes your to 441/27 south and Rt 301 at Oxford where all the new stores are at.
Now Nanci, also remember, getting lost in TV is a rite of passage, and you must get lost at least once to become one of us ;D
Hopefully your GPS is updated with all the new parts of TV. A GPS can be a woman's best friend :bigthumbsup:
