I'd recommend The Villages App (free) for accuracy but unfortunately you can only use it when you are in the Villages. The Villages GPS app (which isn't free) is nice in that it has a "point to point" option where you can enter (or select from a category) an origin and a destination and it will give you directions and time by cart or car. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to be that accurate. When I enter the address for my house (in Marsh Bend) it finds it but for some reason it defaults to another position on the map when I try to establish a route from there. I also checked the distance and time from Cattail rec center to Brownwood; it says 7.5 miles and 50 minutes by cart and takes you on a route that takes you down Warm Springs which doesn't allow carts. I know for a fact it's more like a 15 minute cart ride from Cattail to Brownwood.
