Is there an easy way to install and use The Villages App on my Windows laptop?
Thanks in advance.

As others have mentioned, the app is designed to work on mobile devices with GPS capability, not desktop/laptop devices.
Depending on exactly what you want to browse, google maps may be sufficient. If you ask for directions and then use the bicycle routing, google maps will use the MMPs and tunnels for *most* of the route. If you turn on satellite view then you can easily see where the bicycle route deviates from the MMP. The travel times are pretty close too.
Google maps may not know all the neighborhood names or rec center names (though it knows many) so the Community Map mentioned above is also useful. Use that to find the destination then plug the actual address into google maps for the directions.
Another nice feature of google maps is it allows you to choose a starting point rather than forcing it to be your current location. I don't know if the Villages App has that capability.
