Use your Ear buds with your Villages GPS App... or like another person suggested the Google directions app on Bicycle mode! You will be familiar with the paths in 2 weeks! Enjoy and Welcome, you are in the right place to age gracefully

Be careful with Google Maps bicycle mode.
When I asked it for directions from Pine Ridge to Brownwood the bicycle mode took me through the roundabout at Morse. Not the correct thing to do on a golf cart. Bicycle mode is probably 90+% correct but you need to watch for the <10% where it is not.

Buy a Map
Best is to buy a map, study it, and take drives to learn paths. All the GPS apps are worthless.

The free Villages app is MUCH better and more accurate than the one you pay for. In addition it has additional useful information. IMHO

Villages GPS
The $6.99 village app is the best as it lists all directions either by car or cart. You must select your choose. Also, it has a search engine for clubs, restaurants, etc. The free app is ok, but doesn’t have all the bells and whistles the paid app contains. You get what you pay for.

You said you bought the Villages gps app. Just put in your destination and follow it. It will only take you on the multi modal paths OR streets you are allowed to be on. Get a phone holder for your cart so you can see it without distractions. Have fun, explore.

I've also recently purchased a home in the Pine Ridge neighborhood, but wonder where they got the name because there are no Pines and there is no Ridge ??

Be very careful. We got out on the road and it is darn near impossible to get back to the cartpath due to the curb. Everyone is honking at you and yelling. Like you really want to be there - NOT.
