Hi Everyone. I'm thinking of getting this phone in April when I can upgrade my O2 contract. My question concerns the copilot navigation software that comes with the phone. I have read somewhere that it (Co Pilot) only supports a 5 digit post code and if so is there a third party addon that I can use for post codes

The spec for the phone seems quite good for the GPS side of things with a built in GPS reciever, co pilot software and Navteq maps.

At the moment I'm using my IPAQ 3950 with TT5 (latest update) with a powered Arkon GPS Mount with Integral loudspeaker

Many thanks in advance for the help

Ok, I took the plunge and purchased the phone. In Copliot live 6 mode I'm pretty pleased with the GPS, it updates quicker than TomTom (Ihave TTNv5 for PPC) and it updates with new routes very well also. The only thing I don't like is the 5 digit UK post code fature....for Copilot v 6 (I have v1.0.0.67 installed on the phone) I think it should most definatley have the normal 7 digit UK Post code and I like the PO code feature 'cause thats how I do my navigation, so if anyone knows of a way to update copilot to include a 7 digit post code then I wouyld be very grateful. I have found a web site dedicated to Motorola phones with a section for the A780 [url]http://www.motorolafans.com [/url]

Cheers

I think I've made an error about the Copilot not supporting 7 digit UK post codes rather it was not reading the "destructions" properly, so apologies from me o you.
