You guys are great and you've given me one less thing to worry about with our upcoming move.
Hello Cappyjon,

From my experience during my visit earlier this month to TV:

Car: Used my TomTom GPS when driving the rental car in TV. Worked great except when I went to an open house in Buttonwood as my GPS has not been updated in 2 yrs. -- can't figure out how to download the map updates, I'm technology challenged . I had the $5 TV map, so I found the location of the open house in Buttonwood just fine. If I were living in Buttonwood/Pennecamp/St. James, I would definitely update the maps on my GPS.

A salesperson at the Merchantile Store in LSL that carries the $5 maps told me these maps are updated twice a year.

Golf Cart: Bless the people who came to my aid when I got confused while driving the golf cart earlier this month. One person actually did a u-turn on the golf cart path that runs next to El Camino Real to stop and give me directions. You direction givers rock!!!

So Cappyjon, I wouldn't stress about getting lost.
