Meggison gone!!
Today (8/27) I used the Free version, get to a house on Schroeder Circle. This version took me out MORSE blvd, the people told me to go straight down Meggison from the Brownwood area.
It eventually got me to Meggison, then got confused at Schroeder Circle. Found the house, then plotted a return path back to north of Brownwood. It tried to take me off onto Morse.
I stayed on Meggison, and happened to look at the display as it was no longer giving directions, and I WAS DRIVING IN A FIELD according to the app. This continued all the way to 44 at Brownwood, and the app never did get back to giving me directions.
I forgot to mention, I did confirm location was on, I shut the phone down and rebooted, this is an Android based phone. I did not remove and reload the app.
Please fix.

Google maps agrees with Morse to Meggison when starting along Hillsborough Trail. It believes Brownwood to Meggison is about two miles longer.
Odd that the app had you in a field. Since I know where I'm going I haven't looked at it along Meggison. I'll give that a try the next time I'm in that area.

OK, it appears this forum is ONLY for the PAID version of the villages GPS app, I was using the FREE version which is apparently supported by the Daily Sun(?), in any case after pointing out in direct email, it was mentioned I had contact the wrong entity.
TOTV specialist, please change the name of this area to indicate this is for the PAID version only support.
