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!

This problem has existed for years because of our faux gates. I just memorized one-half dozen of the major roads in TV, check Google Maps for the location I wish to go, head in the general direction of my target, and maybe use the GPS for the last couple of blocks. Once you are close to your destination, provided there are not a lot more gates, you will usually get an accurate route.
