You can find it on Amazon or Temu (the cheaper potion...)

Thanks I just ordered one, Temu is almost a third of the price of Amazon.

Those apps will keep you the MMP’s 90% of the time. But several areas they direct you onto main roads where bikes are allowed but golf carts are not.. Ask me how I know.

Try Fenney Rec Center to Sawgrass Grove. Google routes you onto Warm Sptings Road and Meggison Road.

But you can’t get to Warm Springs without going past a “No Carts Beyond This Point” sign or through a traffic circle. If you avoid those then Google will eventually recalculate to a better route.

But that area is difficult anyway. The golf cart route takes you way up to the Water Lilly bridge or down to the Bexley bridge which are both fr out of the way.

Cases like this, where the golf cart paths are greatly separated from routes legal for bicycles, are going to be a problem. Obeying the signs, avoiding circles, and using common sense while waiting for Google to recalculate will work but sure, inexperienced drivers will have problems.

The point was that Google Maps does not always follow the cart routes in bike mode. The Villages apps do.

Isn’t a good example of this Warm Springs Ave over the turnpike?
A bike route would be to ride over the bridge, but a golf cart isn’t allowed.

As previously mentioned the villages app does not support apple carplay / android auto, but there are display screens that can do screen mirroring. So you would just start navigation on your phone, mirror your phone to the screen and "it should" show your navigation screen on the display. Amazon has a few, but you need to make sure they are waterproof, semi rugged and support screen mirroring. Search Amazon for "motorcycle display screen" and find one that does the mirroring. I have been meaning to try doing this, but I seem to managing ok with my phone.

To be fair, those signs are neither MUTCD or DOT complaint, so they are essentially the equivalent as a strongly worded suggestion.

Add Bluetooth speakers to your golf cart. The Villages app will give audio directions through bluetooth. You can also play Pandora or Spotify through them. Unlike hearing aids, which you might not have, your seat mate can also enjoy or listen.

You won't need to visualize the map, really. But you can get a cup mount holder to mount your phone. If necessary to look closely, just pull off the path, stop and look more closely, then continue. Or your seat mate can do so without your needing to stop.

Not interested in reading through the manuals right now so let’s go with this…. While it *might* not be a violation to pass the signs, it *is* a violation to drive a golf cart on the roadways just beyond the signs. At the very least that strongly worded suggestion is cautioning you about the violation ahead.

I wonder though, what would a MUTCD and DOT compliant sign warning that golf carts are not permitted past a point look like? If these ain’t them, then what is?

Using a tablet was my first thought. May 3D print a mount. It would be fun to add a microprocessor that would trigger an alarm if tampered with.

I did not know that Google Maps in Bicycle mode is 90% accurate.
The forum gives me many options to try.
I know that I will not get lost - someone will always tell me where to go :-)

I don't know about car play, but android auto requires an app the is compatible with it. The (2) apps are not. I left a post on the paid GPS site. They said they will add it later this year. I don't know if an APK loader would work with Android auto.

To be fair, they are warnings that you're about to break the law, if you are driving a golf cart and heading toward the road on the other side of that sign.

It is *illegal* for golf carts to drive on certain roads. The legality of the sign, doesn't change the fact that your golf cart shouldn't be on the road ahead of the sign's placement.
