Question Villages GPS App

I just downloaded the app. The cost is listed at $8.99/year. The signup screen has a "coupon code" option. Does anyone have any information about the coupon code?

No idea on the coupon for the paid version, however there is also a free version, the Icon is a green background and large white V. This one is supported by the Daily Sun, and appears to work very well on both Alle and Android phones. I have never used the paid version.

You're talking a what's called The Villages app. It does have a navigation feature.

Paid version has ten times the info. Try it as so much better than the freebie.

Mr. Helpful:You must have an old version as in all the years I’ve had it only a couple of times it was down due to what I was told were hacks. You do have the paid version, right? Since you claimed it had issues. Sometimes people make claims about things they know nothing about as the paid version has more than the free one even if it gets hacked every so often. Right?

But it will send carts/bikes onto roads as well........which is illegal for carts.

Darling, there are dozens and dozens of threads about the paid version being down, not including new streets and user dissatisfaction.

No need to pay, The Villages free app is great.

We are new to the Villages and the free version was difficult to follow. I ended up using Apple Maps and set the mode of transportation to Bicycle. It worked better

Be careful.................Bikes can go places that are illegal for carts......like riding/driving on 466a.

Bicycles can also ride on Morse Boulevard, north to south. They don't have to ride on the MMPs at all. If you're taking a regular golf cart that isn't street legal, you might find yourself on the receiving end of a traffic violation ticket.
