GPS updates
Sure this has been asked..........
We are coming 1/21 for our LSV. Will it be any help if I update my Garmin Has not been updated in some time) and bring it along? Does it work well in the Villages? Does it do cart paths? |

Another thing about updating your maps on an older GPS. The map updates are pricey (maybe $90). You can buy a new Garmin on Ebay for $135 with lifetime Maps and lifetime Traffic updates, and you have a new machine. |

Make sure you have time. It took me over 2 hours when I did an update a couple of months ago. I could have saved some time if I could have figured out how to tell it to only do the SouthEast region.

GPS units do not do cart paths unless, of course, they are on the side of the roads. Also, lighter plugs in carts are options that you can install or have installed. Some have them, some don't.

So, got the Garmin updated. Testing now. Tried to key in address from MLS but it did not find the Village. Finally figured out the village of Sumter is listed in the Garmin as being in the town Lady Lake.
Is there somewhere where it show what village is int what "real" town so i can map destinations when we get there? |

Jack, you might also find that some of the addresses down towards 466A are listed as being in Wildwood.

Jack Pine -- I hope your updates are helpful. My Tom Tom GPS is almost 3 yrs. old. I can't figure out how to download the updates Not a problem in the Chicago area as I've lived here for 32 years, but last year when I went to open houses in the newer villages in TV (Tamarind Grove, Pennecamp, Buttonwood) it was sometimes a little adventure to get to those newer addresses. But I enjoyed driving through the TV neighborhoods even if I was a little lost...

I am surprised there is no I-App for the villages. They are all over income sources. this seems like a no-brainier......

There is an app for TV but it doesn't show roads like a GPS.
