GPS in the Villages
 

Just found out that MapQuest now recognizes addresses all the way down to 466A, including interior addresses off Odell Circle. It found our address on Nehaul Terrace in Hadley, this is a first. It shows MapQuest 2009 (Navtec). My Garmin Nuvi still has only 2008 maps so I can't judge if the 2009 maps for it will work as well. Any Garmin owners with the 2009 map updates?

Maps
 

The latest version for Garmin is 2009 and I have had my copy since at least July. The next version will be 2010 and usually comes out around May or June. The 2009 version does NOT have the newer sections down at the south end.

Garmin also gets their maps from NavTec so one would assume that if the southern sections of TV would be in the next update.

Mapquest and garmin does not recognize my address in St Charles

Oh well, neither Mapquest or Garmin recognize my address, and the home was built in the 50's!
To make it even more strange, Google Maps knows exactly where I live.
Go figure.:shrug:

Drat, thought I'd finally be able to get the Garmin to work right. I guess I'll have to wait for the 2010 maps. Thanks for the responses.

I have a 2008 Nissan Altima that came with the GPS system installed...I can't get it to recognize any address in the villages....any suggestions????
Thanks...Charlene

We visited TV for a month last year, and will be on our way down again this Friday. For those of you with the Garmin's, what you need to do is plug in Lady Lake (with your requested address) instead of The Villages, it will work fine.

Gps
 

I spoke to Garmin about this problem and they told me to wait until at least April before The Villages is updated...

How about Tom Tom's
 

I have a Tom Tom and I am coming down next week... All of you are talking about Garmins.... Do you know if other GPS systems work in the Villages

My current TOM TOM does not recognize and streets south of 466. It will get you to SS with no problem.

UPDATE: Just did an update of the maps on our Tom Tom. It now recognizes streets all the way into the Keystone Villas in Hadley. Previous maps dropped out on Odell Circle. Haven't looked out to the west or southwest but Hadely's now on the grid.

Your car dealer should be able to help you get an update. I have an Acura and there is a DVD in the trunk with all the information stored on it. For just a few hundred dollars you can get a new one. ;)

WDWDUO, How much did it cost to update your maps from TomTom? We have one (really like it btw) but we're under the impression it costs about $50 or so.

For DonH:
Tom Tom just introduced a quarterly update program, $39.00 for the year.
The catch is you have to be up to date to start. The upside was the initial map update only cost $19.95, which is way below the normal cost. It worked out for us.
