Navigate with confidence. CartPath is the first navigation app built specifically for golf carts, NEVs, and low-speed vehicles. Unlike standard GPS apps, CartPath analyzes speed limits on every road segment to help you avoid illegal high-speed zones and find the safest, most compliant routes. KEY FEATURES LSV-Compliant Route Analysis See which roads are legal for your low-speed vehicle with segment-by-segment speed limit checking. Routes are color-coded: green for LSV-legal roads, red for non-compliant high-speed zones. Three Smart Route Options Choose from Recommended (highest LSV compliance), Fastest, or Shortest routes. Each shows compliance percentage, travel time, and distance so you can make informed decisions. Apple CarPlay Support Search for destinations, preview up to 3 route options, and navigate with full turn-by-turn guidance directly on your CarPlay display. Your route, maneuver cards, and travel estimates stay visible while you drive. Turn-by-Turn Voice Navigation Natural-sounding voice guidance keeps you on track with timely turn instructions, distance callouts, and arrival notifications. Toggle voice on or off anytime. Real-Time LSV Zone Warnings Visual and haptic alerts warn you when approaching high-speed zones. A dynamic warning banner shows the distance to the zone and the posted speed limit, giving you time to prepare or find an alternate route. Search Nearby Destinations Find addresses and places within approximately 31 miles — a practical range for LSV travel. Save favorites and view recent destinations for quick access.
