For automobile directions I find Google Maps, or Apple's Maps better than the Villages App. Too often the Villages app will get you to a spot that the car can't go. Case in point, I drove the car to First Responders, using the Villages App, and got to a point where cars could not proceed and the sign said "Cars use the Route 42 entrance. I've also had the Villages app deposit me at the backyard along Moyer Loop, for a home destination, instead of taking along the residential streets where the driveways are.
Obviously, for golf cart trips you have to use one of the Villages Apps... I use the free one. Works pretty well for that. Make sure you've updated to the latest version, and location service is on.
