When I rent in TV next month, it will be my first time driving a golf cart. Will it be helpful to have my portable Tom-Tom GPS while I'm driving the golf cart (this is the GPS that I use with my automobile) -- just to give me an idea of the direction I’m going and distance from my destination as it probably won't detect the golf cart trails (or would it detect the golf cart trails?). Would my GPS be able to detect how fast the golf cart is going so that I keep it close to 19 MPH and not drag along at 13 MPH?
What speed is safe for going over golf cart bridges, through tunnels, driving in Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter Landing and in parking lots? In the neighborhoods getting to the golf cart trails, what speed is considered safe? Any other places the speed of the golf cart should be reduced?
The villa I’m renting is in Chatham, about 3 blocks south of Nancy Lopez and about 4 blocks west of Buena Vista. The landlord told me that driving the golf cart from the villa it will take about 25 minutes to get to Spanish Springs and about 35 minutes to get to Lake Sumter Landing – does that sound correct? I will need to build in about an extra 10 minutes each way for getting lost
, although I’ve read many times in TOTV that many drivers will help with directions. Hope this doesn’t sound like a dumb question – are there sign posts near the golf cart trails that point golf cart drivers in the direction of SS and LSL?
Thanks in advance for all advice and suggestions.
