7. Click “OK” when the Popup asks “Villages GPS” Would Like To Use Your Current Location. Don’t Allow OR Ok………

There are a few places in The Villages where cel phone signals drop out that will really mess up the app because it needs to know where you are at all times.

1. Make sure your Mute button on the left side of your phone is off.
2. Turn up your Volume as high as possible before opening the app.
3. Start a route from your home or wherever you are.
4. After you click “Start” and it shows the route, now turn up your volume again. Now you are good to go.

There is a bug with the Search button we are trying to fix. The work around is to type in a address or place and let the app automatically find it. Once it finds it in the list… Click it on the list and you will be good to go.

Most of the new places in The Villages was bought from another city. So if you search the address and add either Wildwood or Fruitland Park at the end, you may have a better outcome.

Go to Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage wait for ALL apps to load… May take a minute.

Scroll down to Villages GPS and it will say what version you have.

To enter any address or place, just go to the Search icon on the top right and enter it in there. After it finds the place or address, you can save it to your Favorites by clicking on the Heart to the right so you don’t have to search for it again.

To Exit the App on an iPhone, You double click your your Main Menu button on the bottom middle of the phone. You will see everything that is running right now. All you do from there is swipe UP on the app and it will go away and stop.

Work Around: After clicking Start on a route, there is a squiggly snake looking icon. Click that to get a overview and zoom in where you want. You will see the Re Center button as well. Just click that to zoom back in to where you currently are.

After you opened the app for the first time… There is a popup that says ” Villages GPS Would Like To Use Your Current Location Don’t Allow OR Ok”…..You should have clicked OK but clicked Don’t Allow.

There are two ways to fix this.

Villages_GPS was originally made for iPads and tablets back in the day. They won’t allow us to combine them into one.

They are exactly the same but we have to keep them because a lot of people bought those apps in the beginning , so as advertised, they get all updates free.

If you like what we are doing and want to help us out…. Please leave us a nice review in the App Store by opening up iTunes… Search for Villages GPS and then click on “Ratings and Reviews” Then click “Write a Review” We sure would like that. 🙂
