Default Villages GPS app

Yes, I’ve had problems with the app. It’s quirky and until you are more familiar with how it works it can get you into trouble. For the problems you experienced, long delay without any instructions, quit the app and start it up again reentering the navigation info. The same with the multiple u turns.

QUOTE=bsloan1960;2236610]We're new residents. We used the Free App to go from DeLuna to Sawgrass and back last night. Good thing we happened to remember the way to get back, because the app kept giving opposite instructions.

"Turn left" when there was no left, etc. Also, when we got onto the path when we left Sawgrass we were 100 feet along and it said, "Make a U-Turn", so we did. Then 100 feet into going the opposite way it said again, "Make a U-turn" so we turned around again. Then it said it a 3rd time so we ignored it.

So eventually it started to give the correct instructions but then stopped talking for several miles. When it did start talking again it was giving us incorrect instructions. It would tell us to take a turn where there was no turn to take, or "Take a right" when we knew it was a left. etc., etc. BTW we followed our memory turn by turn and got back without trouble.

So. Is this a common issue? I don't want to go exploring if this thing won't know how to get me home and I don't remember the route.

Thanks![/QUOTE]
