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!

Correct. Your GPS doesn’t understand the concept of private gates where you need a card or need to press the red button. It shows the streets if you go there, but it won’t route you there. At least mine doesn’t. It sends me around to gates with attendants. But if you know where you are going, use the gates you want, and your GPS will catch up in a few seconds. I don’t think my GPS has ever kept me from getting somewhere, but it has unnecessarily lengthened the journey. A couple days ago, driving back from Ocala on I-74 to highway 44 and then home, I went the way I wanted instead of the way my GPS wanted me to go and saved six minutes!
