Default Point to point

The tutorial on my iPhone shows a point to point button in the top row center. Unfortunately, the app has no such button…How do I do a point to point search?

Thanks!

Mine is the search or magnifying glass in the bottom right corner. Do you have the latest version of the app?

I do. When I use the magnifying glass in the bottom right corner it wants to give me directions from where I currently am and I can’t figure out how to enter the second location.

Hey guys,
We will have that feature coming back in a couple of months.

We took it out because some users complained they couldn’t get the navigation to work even though we had a huge popup saying it wasn’t there for navigation. It was there for reference to see distances and times from two places you weren’t currently at.

We will have it back soon.

Thank you,
Villages GPS

Can you make so that it shows the reverse route too? Before you leave. How do you get back? So before you go, you also know how to get back. Sometimes the golf cart paths are very different from going there, and then coming back from there.

Hi, If you are talking about the regular Navigation after clicking Start...
Example: If you are talking about going from your own house to somewhere and wanting to return home.
Go to the search icon and type in your home address. When it finds it, then save it to your Favorites by clicking the heart icon. It will then be in your Favorites section, so you don't have to type it in again.

If you are talking about Point to Point It will show both ways.

Regards,
Villages GPS Team

Especially if the rabbits eat the dropped bread crumbs.

We are working on a lot of other things behind the scenes and it's taking us a lot longer than we expected.

If I were to guess, maybe a month or so, but no promises. We are just trying to keep up with all of the new roads they are building. It's very challenging, to say the least.

Best Regards,
Villages GP's Team.
