It's fun to just drive around, but I like to be able to get somewhere without driving around too long...
Yes, there are lots of GPS apps in the app store. But like everything else, the newer areas of TV are not mapped yet. Especially the areas south of 466A.

GPS routing for the golf cart just doesn't work. I put most of TV cart paths in Google Maps, but getting it to reliably route you on those paths is impossible. In the end, I got tired of working with India on this issue and abandoned any further development on that front.
