Default Current Status of GPS App

Nothing has been posted since April 2025.

Can I get some feedback on the use of this paid app. The one feature it seems to have that the free version does not is point to point mapping. The free version only seems to accommodate navigation from your current location.....

Thanks

Hi! Yes,we have point to point. We also update the app in the backgound while the app is loading up after opening it.

We are in the middle of doind a massive update and going to be adding a few new features, new navigation and are working on a better search. We have a massive list of to-do’s to make the app even better for everyone.

So that you know, we are just a couple of Villagers who decided to make this app back in 2012 and are always trying to make the app better.

If anyone has any issues, please contact us at villagesgps@gmail.com.

We may be out playing pickleball or softball but we will get back to you as soon as possible :-)

Have a great weekend!

Sure wish they would fix the directions when going south to the Fenney area. When coming over the Water Lilly bridge it routes you up Marsh Bend Trail toward DeLuna instead down Marsh Bend Trail Multimodal Path toward Everglades Rec center.

Hummm, that’s strange ….

When I do a Point to Point route from Prima Steakhouse in Brownwood to the Everglades Recreation Center, it takes me down Marsh Bend towards Fenney and NOT towards Deluna after crossing the Water Lilly Bridge . See image .

I would suggest you go to the App Store to see if you have the latest software update….

Even when navigating to the Fenney Grill from Brownwood, the route takes me down Marsh Bend towards Fenney AND NOT towards Deluna after crossing the Water Lilly Bridge…

Check that you have the latest software….

A nice added feature for subscribers would be to offer adding in a reminder to pay your golf trail fee on its due date. Nothing worse than showing up at the course and learning yours is expired.

Something happened in the latest download. I can't access all the 'favorites' I've stored without having to 'sign in'. What the heck? It's been over 4 years and I've forgotten my p/w.

Scroll up to post # 2 and send them an email. I’m sure they can help you retrieve it or reset it to a new one.
