hit and miss postcode search

[wigglyworm]

hi i have a mia 168 running tt nav 5.1.
when i do a postcode search for a place it gives me a wrong location.
for example when i put the postcode for ikea in wednesbury it gives a different location to where it is supposed to be, this happens with other postcodes. does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix this.

A post code can cover quite a large area, in the case of Ikea, I presume that they are on a industrial estate of some sort, this will mean that it could have been taken from a post code area local to where they are, so may well belong to another local road or the original location of the building that was there before.

New addresses often have the post code allocated to the sorting office and not the geographical location - also large businessess often get their own code which they take with them when they move location.
