Oh, wow! Google Maps ( https://maps.google.com ) recently updated details for The Villages and areas around it. The Map View has added many streets south of 466A. The Satellite View is very recent - definitely taken during 2013.

Whatever was going on the day they took the photos, there weren't many parking places left near Brownwood Square. Think there might be a parking problem when it's in full operation?

The latest Garmin may is do out any day now. Many owners were expecting it to be out last week had their release trend followed past history but it did not happen. I will post a thread when it is released. BTY Garmin releases new maps 4 times a year and this will be the second one for 2013 even though they have a very odd method of numbering.

It could have been taken during the Farmer's Market on Saturdays. It appears that there are vendor tents around the square.

Had to be taken after April 1 2013 as the walls of the new Sweetbay's are shown and they were not there on 4/1 or even close.

Do you think all the parking lots are complete?
