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!
In the example given in your second paragraph the app simply took you on the shortest and fastest route. From the intersection of Marsh Bend Trl and 301 to the roundabout @ Warm Springs and Fenney Way it is 3.66 miles with speed limits of 55 and 45 MPH if you travel 301 to Warm Springs. If you travel Marsh Bend Trl instead it is 4.5 miles with speed limits of 30 or 35 MPH.
