Life's better at 15 mph.
Cart navigation, summer 2026.
A nav app that knows the cart paths.
SlowGo is built for golf carts and low-speed vehicles — the quiet streets, the cut-throughs, the routes regular nav apps don't see.
The short version
It knows the backroads. The quiet streets. The cart paths that don't show up in regular nav apps.
Built for cart communities like The Villages, Hilton Head, Peachtree City, Fire Island, and slow neighborhoods everywhere.
No accounts. No tracking. Just maps that respect how you actually ride.
Cars vs. carts
× Regular nav
- "Take the highway"
- "Merge onto I-95"
- "Fastest route"
- Ignores cart paths
- Tracks every mile
● SlowGo
- "Take the back road"
- "Cut through the path"
- "Quietest route"
- Knows cart-legal roads
- Doesn't watch you ride
Tell it where. It picks the slower way.
Three steps. No setup. No login. The cart's not in a hurry — the app shouldn't be either.
01 / OPEN
Open the map.
No account. No onboarding. The map loads where you are, with cart paths drawn in.
02 / SEARCH
Tap a destination.
The bakery. The dock. The friend two streets over. Search like you would anywhere else.
03 / RIDE
Take the back way.
SlowGo routes you on cart-legal roads, quiet cut-throughs, and the path nobody else knows about.
A look inside
Built for places where cart is a way of life.
At launch, SlowGo focuses on communities that already ride. More towns added by neighborhood request — one street at a time.
Map quality varies by community. We're adding neighborhoods one at a time.
The point of all this
The point isn't getting there fast. It's the breeze, the side streets, and the route nobody else knows about.
01 / Pace
The cart's not in a hurry. Neither are you.
02 / Routes
Quietest, not fastest.
03 / Privacy
No accounts. No tracking. No ads.
04 / Care
Made by hand, not by quarter.
Summer 2026. Honestly, when it's right.
We won't ship a hurried app. The whole point is to slow down. Here's the plan:
Now
Quiet build
Mapping cart paths in pilot communities. Drawing every back gate by hand.
Spring 2026
Closed beta
Waitlist gets first invites. Pilot towns first. Bring your cart.
Summer 2026
Public launch
iOS first. Free to start. Available where it works well, not everywhere.
Later
Android
Android version when iOS is solid. New communities added by request, one neighborhood at a time.
Things people actually ask.

Why not just use Google Maps?+
Google Maps is built for cars. It sends you to highways, busy roads, and routes that assume you're going 45+ mph.
SlowGo knows you're on a cart. It finds the backroads, residential streets, and cart-friendly paths — the routes Google won't show you. Same destination. Calmer ride.
Will it work in my town?+
If you can navigate the streets in your town, SlowGo can navigate them. SlowGo uses OpenStreetMap data, which covers every road in the US.
Some cart-heavy communities — The Villages, Hilton Head, Sun City — have great cart-path coverage. Other towns, you might still need to ride on quiet streets.
If you're in a cart community and SlowGo doesn't have your favorite path mapped, you can help improve OpenStreetMap. We'll point you to the right tools after launch.
Do I need an account?+
No.
SlowGo doesn't ask for your email, name, or anything else. Just open the app and ride. Your favorites and trip history stay on your phone. Nothing gets uploaded.
How does SlowGo make money?+
SlowGo will be free to start. Always.
Later, there'll be optional features for people who want to support development — things like extended trip history, custom voice options, or premium navigation modes. But the core experience — finding cart-friendly routes — stays free.
No ads. No selling your data. We don't have your data anyway.
Is this for actual golf, or just golf carts?+
Just carts.
SlowGo is for golf carts, low-speed vehicles (LSVs), neighborhood electric vehicles, and similar slow vehicles being driven on regular streets — not on golf courses.
If you're playing actual golf, your course already has a yardage app. This isn't that.
Android?+
iOS first. Android comes later.
Building one platform well is better than building two platforms okay. After SlowGo's iOS version is solid, Android is next on the roadmap.
If you're on Android, join the waitlist anyway — we'll let you know when it's ready.
Is there a beta I can join?+
Right now, SlowGo is in private testing on golf carts in South Florida.
Once the app is closer to launch (summer 2026), there'll be a public beta on TestFlight (iOS). Joining the waitlist puts you first in line.
Why's it called SlowGo?+
Because slow travel is the point. The cart's not in a hurry. Neither are we.
Who built SlowGo?+
A solo developer who got tired of nav apps treating golf carts like cars.
Is my data safe?+
Yes. SlowGo doesn't collect any of it.
When can I see SlowGo on the App Store?+
Summer 2026.
Can I use SlowGo for hiking, biking, or walking?+
Not yet. SlowGo is built specifically for golf carts and low-speed vehicles. Walking and biking apps work differently — different routing, different speeds, different safety considerations.
One ask, one place
Take your time. Then take the back way.
We'll write you once, when SlowGo is ready to ride. That's the only email you'll get.
