Default GPS to southern villages?

Now that the bridges are open I thought it would be great to celebrate by carting down to either Fenny Grill or Edna's from Hemingway. When I checked The Villages GPS (paid version) it said it would take three hours.

Is there a way I can update?

The Villages (Paid Version) GPS is usually way off with their time of travel.

Yes it will especially when the road slopes downward.

Also sometimes locks up and does not work well in areas South with poor cell phone connection.

Just add 10 minutes from Brownwood to Edna’s and maybe 25 to Fenney Grill give or take a couple minutes depending on how slow or fast your cart is

Purchased one app when I first moved here - I have never got it to recognize my new home that I moved into last year - south of 44. I just typed in ‘Starbucks’ again - and it only listed: 3 in Orlando, 1 in Celebration and 1 in Kissimmee. Hmmmm.... odd. This doesn’t help me.
***The good news —- the regular Villages App (free) is spot-on.... it locates me - at my exact location, it will provide me driving AND golf cart directions to locations here in The Villages! I don’t really need the driving directions anymore - but the golf cart directions are super!!! Not sure how accurate the timing estimations are .... but, having golf cart directions - that are accurate are great - a great help to me!
