Tom tom 300 and full postcode search...help!

Hi All...can someone help me PLEASE!!!

I've done a search on this but no luck.

I've just bought myself a tomtom 300 from ebay, and all is working great...except the full postcode search function....it's just the same as inputting it from the address option. (Yes, I am using the postcode option, not the address one)

I've run the new 5.420 update, but that has made no difference, and the person I bought it off has emailed me with the great_britain.postal file to put in the ZIP file on the SD card. All very well, except there is no ZIP file so it's still not working Sad

Any ideas of what I can do? It's so frustrating as this was the main reason I opted for a tomtom.

I'd really appreciate any help you can offer...

Thanks!!

All is solved....I just needed to create a new folder, name it ZIP and drop the file in that...et voila! Smile

I hope you really bought a GO 300 and not a Classic. Also, what your seller did is slightly illegal and should not be discussed in these forums.

Are you sure you have a 300? The lack of the zip folder suggests you have not?

hi yes it's definstely a 300.

Why is it illegal....it's surely the same as selling anything else unused and unwanted on ebay?

It's not the sale of the GO, rather the supply of the PostCode data. This can only legally be supplied as part of a Map Update by TomTom.

However the issue is still why a GO 300 would be missing the zip folder when this (and the TomTom folder) are a standard part of the Operating System and shouldn't be missing?
