GPS Routing on Cart Paths
As promised, I have been working on providing all cart paths, throughout the Villages for GPS availability and eventually an app.
So far, I have editing many cart paths and roads to have BICYCLE lanes. Unfortunately, Google Maps does not have a designation for Golf Cart, so I've used bicycle for routing. I am using Google Maps to make the changes. Currently, if you go to Google Maps and turn on the bicycle layer, you will see many cart paths in green. Much of the work, for routing, included putting in all the cart tunnels and many multi-modal paths. Now it's just a matter of them all getting connected together. I have also coded streets that have cart lanes, such as St. Charles, Bailey Trail, Odell Cir. Del Mar, San Marino, etc. I have cart paths defined all over the Villages, from 466a all the way to Lopez, over to Spanish Springs via El Camino, etc. Google uses a "trusted" reviewer process, so each of my map edits are reviewed before going live. Over the next few days, I expect most of the current paths to be approved and published to Google Maps. Many of the edits have already been approved and they are "live" in Google Maps. Go try it out [via Google Maps on the Internet] and let me know what you think, so far. Be sure to use bicycle routing, if you try to get directions to someplace. Also, remember that the reviews are not completed, so you might get some bogus routing [combination of car paths and non-Cart-legal streets) for the moment. I am still updating streets, but I'm also searching for an appropriate app (Android & iOS) to allow true GPS routing via cart paths, on your smartphone. Stay tuned . . . |

Awesome
I can't tell you how many times I've asked 'why someone can't develop a cart path gps'. I can't wait to try on my next visit TV. Thanks for all your work!!!

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Just in time for me!!! I will be staying in The Villages for the month of February and traveling primarily by golf cart. I do not know my way around at all and figured I would meet lots of people while getting lost. This should help a whole lot.

Whoa!
I didn't read this thread because I thought it was just another thread about "why isn't there a GPS for golf cart paths".
I'm with Bill... You are a freaking genius! And... he does need to get into the 19th century. (baby steps) PS... Is this anything like your GPS for your vacuum cleaner?
