Villages GPS for Android
This app is the real deal because it has voice assisted directions. Much safer than the other "free" app. Voice assist means you are not distracted when having to look at the visual directions of other apps made for The Villages residents.
Gets us around The Villages great... Acts like a GPS when we travel
Excellent app. Continually updating new communities and roads. Always in use. Thanks for a job well done!
The developerswere great and worked hard and fixed the issue i was having its a ok program only one i know of for golf carts..was trying to go to churchill downs course from el santiago and it took us way wrong. .but otherwise did well. where I am says my nearest pool is 4,000 miles away and also when i tried to go to church hills down rec it took me to a residential home miles away by southern trace.. I will have to change my rating the support team for this app has been working very hard to fix problem
Map just freezes constantly. Says 1200 ft or whatever to next way point, never changes. Could really use it as I'm here for a few weeks a year. Google maps pedestrian works more reliably. Hate to leave bad feedback but going from library to Spanish Springs was a nightmare. Finally asked a nice lady for directions.
Should be a suggestion that the villages gives you when you sign up!
Wow, this app just gets better and better. THANKS!
Directions off by half mile or more.
Not as reliable as Google. Although Google doesn't do Spanish springs area well.
When I try to search for local businesses it gives me locations from around the country. I can use Google Maps for that FOR FREE. Too bad you can't get your money back!

Was better when I was using it in July. Used recently and it took me in the opposite direction of where I wanted to go
Takes forever to locate GPS, does not hold GPS signal well at all and once lost takes forever to locate signal again. Very disappointing. Feels like I am working with a beta version of this application.
Applied update on 10/26 and 20/28 - Everything works great!
Helps me get around the Villages. Love it. Especially the updates!!
Have problems with neighborhood it freezes and I can't put in a address. Still needs some work for the android phones
My app just shows a line where you go but no streets or street names. What good is that? Deleted the app.
A little slow at bringing up the golf cart map. Wish search had an option to add ', The Villages' at the end so to only bring up destinations that are local. Often a search will bring up Orlando locations also. Would highly recommend this app to all villagers.
Love that it includes cart directions. Makes it easy to find rec centers. Don't always have a street address for other GPS devices. I would definitely recommend this app.
Where can we report errors. Today the app took us to Bonafay rather than Bradenton Rec Ctr
We recommend this app to all our family, visitors & friends. It is over-whelming to get around the ever growing Villages and even owners hit into a problem finding their way around. This is a very handy tool. GPS, finding businesses, etc. Well worth the fee.
It will not install on my Samsung Galaxy S5
Finally a GPS that works in the villages tech support met with me and showed me what to do people smart.and helpful worth so much more than cost thank you _this app has changed my life for better and I don't get lost every place any more. Put my garmin GPS in cold storage with my fur coat
Great App. I would like to see a version number in the app under the "More" option and an "Update" Option under the "More" Option. Again really Great App.
Nice helpful app!!

I've been using this app for a couple of months now and I love it. This has helped me get around the villages tremendously it has all the information I need
Intermittent at best
Great app so needed! Every Villager needs it!
I was disappointed to see that all this map does is give you what you can get for free. Download any map program (or use google or yahoo maps) and set it for the villages bike paths. For businesses, use your local app. This app was a waste of money.
Having had the experience of being lost in a golf cart on The Villages golf cart paths only to find my phone's GPS to be of no help whatsoever...... I can assure you, this APP is awesome and much needed! It more than a GPS, it is a comprehensive listing of golf courses, entertainment, town squares, residential villages, restaurants and more that The Villages have to offer. If you live in or around The Villages or plan to visit this APP is a MUST for easy travel in The Villages by golf cart or motor vehicle.
I love this app. I was always getting lost with my regular GPS but this app is amazing and accurate! Whoever created it a genius. Thanks, now I can travel The Villages on my golf cart without having to backtrack.
I have never been good with maps so I really love this tool that I can use like a GPS on my cell phone in my GOLF CART or my car. Now I can find everything in The Villages!
Great app so needed! Every Villager needs it!
I have a Garmin for my car, which of course cannot be used in my golf cart. I can use it in my car, bicycling and walking. It gives you locations of where each golf course, recreation centers, town squares are located. It is totally well worth the money. I wish this app had existed when we first moved here six years ago, it would have saved me many stressful days trying to find my way around. Even living here now, it gives me locations of places I wasn't even aware they existed in the surrounding areas.
Two areas are great. The support is wonderful. ..immediate response and continued follow-up until my problem was resolved. Second is the app itself. ..wish I had this when I first moved here.

Fantastic! I used it to drive from one end of the villages to the other. A 35 minute drive. It got me easily and securely around the rotaries to my destination. Well worth the money. I highly recommend it!
