Sure, my friends have driven us through the mazes and roundabouts and under the tunnels and over the bridges - but why would I ever pay any attention to where I was going? I was a guest and didn't own a cart - so who cared about the route from the Village of Silver Lake to LSL or Wal-mart!

It will be nice to get the key, a pat on the back, a good luck wish and the cart path map - but I sure would enjoy a guided tour of the cart paths instead! I understand it would likely be an inconvenience for the experienced resident [something else for them to frustrate over], but if the day/time was widely advertised and the motoring newbies group was kept to less than a parade, this might turn out to be a good idea in the long term.

[gentle ribbing enjoyed - flames will make me cry, thank you]
I wouldn't worry about this.If you read various threads and listen most of the people here are really friendly.If you get lost not only will people give you directions to your destination alot will actually stop what they're doing and have you follow them.So don't be afraid to just jump in your cart and explore.It's part of the fun we're all having here..Welcome
In no time you'll be a real pro at navigating the villages in a golf cart
