Default Maps

Hi,
Does anyone know if there are paper maps available for each of the individual villages ?
I'm not interested in the GPS, but would rather have a map of any particular village that would show the street layout of each village.

Thank You

All of the Pro shops and Banner Mercantile carry the paper maps. Show your Village ID card at the Pro Shops and get 10% off. At least you used to.

The "$5 Map" is available at the sales offices and several other locations. It shows all of the streets in TV. Note that 2015 one will be out soon - it matters since the current ones don't show some of the newest (and soon to be developed) areas.

It's also handy as people tend to stop and offer help if they see you looking at one...

I have not seen any individual village maps, the overall maps are quite good, and I agree with the above comment to wait for the 2015, if you can.

You might want to check Google Maps. They have TV well mapped.

I'll bet if you go to the library and ask them for google maps computer help [if you need it] they will give it to you.

Find the village and print.

Each printed page is 10 cents and you could make your own little book of including each village you want.

Not that well mapped. They still don't have my street in The Village of Charlotte.

I use goggle earth sometimes. Put the street in or address and zoom in or drop the little man on to the high lighted streets. As mentioned google map also can be viewed terrain mood also.

The OP asked about paper maps. Google maps and the others are good but sometimes nothing beats a paper map. Especially if you are in a car/cart and do not have access to a printer in your car/cart.

Some of us have it on or cell phones or nooks. I guess he will have to cut up the 5 dollar map cause that as good as it get for paper maps with no technology.

It looks like you're going to have to pencil his street in.

I live in Village of Dunedin, and my street was't there either. I had to send in a Google update request to get it in there. They had the street, but no name yet. They also occasionally meismark some of the new streets, so the same method can be used to correct those too. The link is at the bottom of the screen under report a problem.

Yeah, according to our car's GPS we live in a field near Collier Drive. Actually we live on Ragsdale Loop near Hendry Drive. I think it is time for a software update, but I ain't got time for that. I'm too busy posting on TOTV.

I did the same for our street abut 18 months ago. Received a reply within two weeks indicating they (Google) had assigned it to their team.

Received a second email about two months later indicating the changes had been made. And they had.
