Most of not all of the GPS are for VEHICLE use and are not suitable for golf cart use, the paths are different. There is a paid for app (5 or 6 dollars I think) that will provide good directions for golf cart use. Also, if you still plan on using a golf cart, make sure you have insurance FOR THE GOLF CART. There may be a problem since your wife does not have a license, a friend of mine was NOT able to get GC insurance (Progressive) as she does not have a license.
How does one get insurance on a rental cart?

Best thing to learn how to get from place to place in a golf cart. “Villages GPS” app

Photos speak volumes.
Hate to see the pictures, but an excellent reminder.

You can cross 27/441 at I believe 176 we. You have to go out the cart gate on paradise, past Walmart, past Stonecrest. There is a signal light at 176 to cross and go into Spruce Creek south.

No, crossing at Walmart is NOT allowed. 27/441 can only be crossed at the traffic light at Spruce Creek or by going over the golf cart bridge from the Veteran's Memorial Park to the historic side.

Even with the "kissing lanai's," high density housing and significantly higher purchase prices than similar communities in other locations - being the downside(s).
Golf Carts and the many paths is the reason we bought. Every time we are there we investigate to see where else we can go. That is what we love.

We always go over the bridge to get to Lawes, Walmart, Dollar tree etc. there is 1 or 2 other communities that can go to those plazas as well.

Not legally

Look for the Villages Mixer App on google play. The GPS is the best part. Put in the address, search, start. It only uses the trails and it's real time. Not like The Villages App.

Also, do you need a drivers license for a gas powered cart as opposed to an electric one? Don't know the area, just asking based on what I see on a map. Thanks for any help.
No you can not drive a golf cart on any of those roads NOR can you legally cross them. You do not need a license to drive a cart gas or electric. Stupid thing is a 14 yo can drive one BUT they can’t even get a drivers permit for 2 more years.

No, the STUPID part is that the grandparents let them drive (sometimes as young as 6 or 7)

14 year olds CAN get a drivers permit.

Where? Arkansas? West Virginia?

I'm talking about states that don't allow 14 year olds to marry their sister:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:
