Hi All
I use a 500 and find it an invaluable tool for my business but is there anyway to display the postcode for a given point? So when using the browse map feature can you point to differentparts of the map and get its postcode?
Cheers |

Not as it stands at the moment. I wouldn't think it's even on TT's To-Do-List. _________________ Richard

Thanks for the reply, do you know of any software or hardware which offers this feature? This is the one thing that I would really useful and use constantly.

I don't think there is any Navigational Aid that has this feature, as it is the reverse of their intended use. Unlike some of the Web based Services. _________________ Richard

In autoroute, you can left click on a street and you get the first block of the postcode, and the first number of the second block. |

The Navman ICN520 does this but unfortunately only gives the partial 4 digit post code as in their post code search. It is rumoured that new software is to be released in June with full post code search so perhaps the display of post codes while browsing the maps will also be brought up to the same standard.

So in fact they both give exactly the same information in this instance (between 3 and 5 characters, depending on the makeup of the postcode). _________________ Tim |
