About SlowGo: Golf Cart GPS
Now on CarPlay. Plug in and your routes, the turns, and the honest road warnings show up on the cart's screen. Free. No ads. Nothing for sale. SlowGo is navigation built for golf carts and low-speed vehicles. Every other map is built to get you there fast. SlowGo is built for slow roads. By default it routes on roads posted 35 mph and under, the LSV line in Florida, and when a faster stretch between 36 and 45 is the only way, it tells you which road, for how long, and what it's posted at, before you leave. SlowGo won't route you along a road it knows is posted over 45. Not a setting. The rule. Where a golf cart may ride is your county's or city's call, and SlowGo doesn't decide it. Signs and local rules win. When there is no honest way there, SlowGo says so, and tells you why: the roads are too fast, the map doesn't connect, or we don't cover the area yet. We'd rather send you around a road than down the wrong one. HOW IT WORKS - Routes on roads posted 35 and under by default; faster stretches (36–45) only if you turn them on, and always disclosed - Roads known to be posted over 45: never along your route - Every route card shows what it's made of: quiet roads, faster stretches, and any miles where we inferred the speed from the road type - Cart paths first, quiet roads second - Honest refusals: five kinds of "no," each one explained - Rides keep going when your phone is locked or CarPlay drops. You'll see the blue location pill while a ride is running. BUILT FOR THE VILLAGES FIRST SlowGo covers Florida, Georgia and Arizona, built around The Villages and its cart-path network, with Sun City and the Northwest Valley now on. More states are coming. ONE SERVER, OURS SlowGo runs its own routing on speed data we corrected by hand. No third-party map decides your ride, and we know exactly where our coverage ends. Speed limits and road conditions come from map data. Always verify posted signs and local cart laws before riding. Life's better at 15 mph.
What’s new
Version 1.4 · Updated October 16, 2026
What's new in 1.4 • Arizona: SlowGo now covers Sun City and the Northwest Valley, along with Florida and Georgia. • Fixed: some routes used bike and walking paths where carts aren't allowed. Routes now stay off paths unless they're marked for golf carts. If a route ever uses an unmarked path, it shows in amber with a note to check local signs. • If a route can't get all the way to your spot, the route card now says how far short it ends. If the closest road we can use is too far away, SlowGo tells you instead of offering the route. • Rename a favorite: in Favorites, tap Edit, then the favorite. The new name shows everywhere, including CarPlay, and the address stays the same. Search now finds a favorite by the name you gave it. • The weather forecast shows all of the next 6 hours, its words wrap instead of being cut off, and it shows a moon after sunset. • Tap the SlowGo logo to go back home: it clears your search and any route you were looking at and puts the map back on you. • Turn instructions are never cut off, and screens read better at the largest text sizes. • Checking whether paths along your route are marked for golf carts now happens on your phone, using a list built into the app. Points along your route are no longer sent to an outside map service for it. • Fixed a crash that could happen if you closed the app while typing a search.
