"Navigate to" / forward arrow to page 2 / "Postcode"
Don't try to input postcodes into the "Address" page |

WHat is your postcode? I can see codes beginning with bd30, bd37,bd38, bd39. But nothing beginning bd32-bd36

If you haven't got the full postcode choose Navigate to - Address and enter BD3. Choose any of those showing, whether it's BD3 0 or BD3 7 etc. as it won't matter.
Now type in Butler Street, or Butler Street West if that's your preference, then the house number.

Just noticed what you said.
You have to Navigate to... enter Bradford
Tap on Bradford then enter Butler Street.
Tap on Butler Street then enter House Number. :D

If you know the address, why are you fixating on postcode?

That's right, you only really have to worry about the full postcode if the house you are looking for has a name, rather than a number, or if you are looking for a 'block' of flats, which will get you closer than if you select the road then 'anywhere'.
Also remember, if you are looking for a road in a large town or City, enter the district of the town/City, otherwise you may find there is more than one road with the same name.
I've given an example elsewhere where you may want, for example, 100, Station Road, Some Borough, London. If you enter London you will be offered numerous Station Roads. It's best to enter Some Borough, then Station Road. Don't worry if you get Station Road SE17 1 - Station Road SE17 2 etc , tap on any of the Station Roads shown then enter 100. There will only be one 100 Station Road regardless of how many postcodes shown against it.

Well that is plainly ridiculous! Would your client expect something posted to "100 BD3" to get there?

I'm presuming he did know where it was? In which case if he drew a sketch map, then later (or you had the TT with you, directly) you could have navigated to 'point on map'.
