Villages GPS very good for cart directions and very conveniently organized, but for some reason off by almost double on times.

I go from Orange Blossom to Southern Trace a few times every month, to Colony once a month, and to Sumter several times every month. I even went to Rohan a couple of times, total. And I have never been able to go more than a few minutes faster than the GPS claimed it would take. |

By the way, I like TV GPS for directions and other info. But estimates of travel time are not even close. |

No, the Google Maps bike directions do NOT have bicycles crossing 466. As I wrote in my post, you can see that google maps has bicycles "crossing" 466A at the same MMP tunnel that golf carts use. Don't take my word for it, look it up for yourself and if yours shows something different, please post a picture.

Their estimates are based on the legal speed limit for golf carts on golf cart and MMP paths which is 19.x (I don't remember if it's 19.8 or 19.6 or whatever but it's above 19 and under 20). So of course you will get there quicker, you're speeding.

To get from my house to Lake Sumter Landing in the GPS estimated time, I would have to drive under 9 mph. |

The Villages GPS time to location is always greatly exaggerated. It is more effective to look at the miles, assume your driving speed (typically 20 mph), the result should be pretty accurate.

I have found the golf cart times to be consistently over stated. I reduce the app times by 40% to get more realistic times.

I just retested both apps on my phone.
I invested in the GPS Villages app - I have yet to successfully use this app - I am thinking it is because my address is not recognized. I am south of 44. I went on the app and entered ‘Starbucks’ - did not find Starbucks...... when I enter other desired locations - it tends to provide me options many, many miles away - no where near the Villages. The app I have been using - w/ great success - !!!! Is the regular, old ‘The Villages’ app!!! I love it - esp. for golf cart directions!!! It recognizes me and my address (perfectly) - and when I type ‘Starbucks’ - it immediately pops ups with both - golf cart and car step-by-step directions!!! Yeah!!! |

From Bonifay CC to Sumter Landing the Villages says 29 min you can easily make it in 20 min at 20-20.5 mph going up Morse.
To Brownwood says 18 min can drive it in 12 min |

We use the app all the time. The estimated times it gives are always too long. It is usually off by at least 10 minutes, more if it is a long trip.
