One day it sent us 15 miles to get to a place we later figured out was only 2 miles away- through The Villages.

Today we were on 466A and wanted to go to the Village of McClure- we had no idea how to get there. It took us to 301, then Warm Springs, then to McClure. We noticed at the round-about that we could have gone down Marsh Bend Trail- through DeLuna instead of around. It has NEVER taken us through The Villages to get to our destination. My wife thinks the Apps are avoiding gates because not everyone has gate cards.

Any way- has anyone heard of this? Is there a setting to fix this?

Thanks!
I had a similar problem of my GPS avoiding gates. Once I found shortcuts through the Villages I wet those routes with my Google maps on and ignoring the directions a few times. It will get a little annoying since you will that voice telling you to turn around. Explore with it on and it will to learn youcan use those gates. Hop this helps.
Mine is pretty good now even in the new areas
