If you have AutoRoute, you can input the Postcodes into that and it will Flag the location. The Saved File then holds the Lat/Long which can be converted to an OV2 File with POIConverter
Another method is to use Streetmap.com to give the Lat/Long for each Postcode. The Format in the Text File is Longitude, Latitude, Name.
If you save the File as a TEXT File and then change the Extension to ASC, POIConverter can convert that also.
The third way is to create a POI File under Manage POI.
Use Browse Map on the ONE and Find | Address | Postcode will locate the Postcode. Zoom right in to make sure that it is next to the right road and Tap the Cursor Icon at the bottom. Select Add as POI.
Select the name of the POI that you just created and input the name of the New Location. Repeat for each Postcode.
You will then have your OV2 File which you can Backup and use on other Devices if you wish.;) _________________ Richard
