I figured someone who takes these routes frequently might know.
Google maps seems to generally be a year out of date, I use the free version of the Villages app (green background and big white V). This offers both golf cart and car directions from your current location to wherever you want to go in TV. From reports I have seen, Waze(?) appears to be more up to date but I do not use this app.
