hi, i do not seen to be able to put in a full postcode.
i can only for example put in LE67 and need to select a location and then a street.

i had a job on today but only had a postcode and could not get my unit to take me there as i needed a street.

so can this unit do 7 or 8 digit postcode navigation without putting in a street just a full postcode?

cheers, am i missing something.

hi, thanks.

yes that is what i am doing it does not work.

if i type in CV13 all i get is a list ie "CV13 (nuneaton)" if i put in the rest of the postcode the list stays the same.

i can not continue until i choose a location from the list.

any ideas?

if i put in that postcode all i can select is "CV11 (nuneaton)" from the list then its ask for a street brfore it will give me a route????????

have done something to it, does it need an upgrade or something?

If you have a ONE v2 you should already have the correct file in the zip folder.
Could you have deleted it somehow by accident? Did you do a backup as soon as you got the machine, where you could retrieve it from?

I only say this because I think the file linked to in the thread you mention is out of date now (also it was really only intended for people who had bought a new map but TT had forgotten to include the postcode file with it).

Maybe try a call to TomTom explaining your problem and they will send the latest version to you. (we are not supposed to share it as it is copyright like the maps themselves).

i must have deleted it?

i did a back up when i brought it and can not see how it has gone.

someone came round with their tomtom (brought same time as me) and the postal file i downloaded was larger than the file he had.

so it must have been more up to date? i guess.

Not neccessarily... The UK postal file that came with my v660 'UK, IE and major roads of WE' bought a week ago, is smaller than the one that came with my original v5 maps Stop it!
