Hi there everyone - I'm new here, having just bought an Ipaq 1910 with Tom Tom 3. Is there an add-on which allows full post codes to be used ?
Thanks for your help

Are you sure it's a 1910 with TomTom Navigator 3, and not an rz1710 with the HP Navigation Pack?

Using a GPS on a 1910 is unusual, because so little GPS hardware works on that machine, and it's also been discontinued some time.

If it's anything running TomTom Navigator 3, UK Postcode will do the job. If it's the HP Navigation Pack, no add ons work.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, it's a 1910 (or at least it was sold to me as that - it says 19** on the battery compartment) The GPS device I'm using is a combined cradle, GPS receiver, charger and speaker bought off Ebay.It uses infra red to connect the GPS and Ipaq. If anyone is interested, the link is

It seems to work very well despite the fact I have a VW Passat with heat reflective screen. The only improvement would be full postcodes. Where do I get the add-on you mention ?

Hi, I have found and installed uk postcodes and it works a treat. Thanks for your help.
PS any thoughts on my set-up ?

As you say, you need to use the infra red linked GPS, as the 1910 has very limited connectivity options. You'd found and bought the correct GPS hardware.

As you may know, the 1910 was a somewhat limited machine from a hardware point of view that never had a Pocket PC 2003 upgrade made available. However, if it does everything you wish it to, that's great!
