Posted: Wed May 28, 2008 5:54 pm Post subject: TOMTOM 930 PROBLEM URGENT MATTER OF LIFE :(! |
|
|
Ehhh!!! Help!! I Just got my hands on the Tomtom 930 looks very good on vision but it is rubbish in the inside im not pleased.. When i go to "Navigate to" Then "Postcode" i enter my postcode E# ### (# = Number/Letter privacy) Then it comes up as only E# and not the last 3 digits of the postcode in that Results part of the screen.. But on the old versions of Tomtom it was E# ### Then it asks for the House number but the strange part is on the 930 i even get cities, Streets on the post code results starting with "E" Also when i press next after i press the first 2 of my postcode i get "Street Name" ... I remember clicking on "Postcode" when i pressed navigate to not complete Address..
It's very weird!!! So i really need some help.. I'll be waiting for answers on how to fix this. |

No no i don't put space (duhh you dont need to :D) I just go to Navigate to Address Postcode enter my full post code like e26nw and the result comes up as e2 and when i go next it asks for street name then more information.. However if i go back at that stage to the postcode entry i get that i have only entered "e2" however i entered e26nw.
MAP: "Western_and_Central_Europe" v800.1762
Version of tomtom i think : 8.002
I hope i can get a fix on this |

Then you need to check the Folders on the Devcie with Windows Explorer.
Look for a Folder called zip in the Root of the Device Drive.
Then check that it has 4 files in it. 2 of .Postal and 2 of .ver Files. _________________ Richard

If you don't have the ZIP folder then that is your issue. It should be there. _________________ Darren Griffin |

my tomtom runs perfectly fine except for the problems that i said.. Wouldn't it be showing some effects or i would have major problems if a folder that is required isn't there? |

The Device should have come with a zip Folder and the 4 files that go in it.
Did you by any chance purchase the unit from a country that does have Postcodes?
That Folder only does the Postcodes and is not used for any other Function. _________________ Richard

Nevermind.. It was the mem card..
Let's focus on the zip folder.. How do i replace it?
EDIT: putting zip folder now..
Well I've gotta say THANKS SO MUCH xD :D Wow! Works great now :P
The only problem is this is only GB And Nederland i think? What about the other countries? Because this summer i'll be going to Turkey via Car from London and maybe i'll require Postcode? |

I don't know the answer to the Greece question.
Now you are up and running, it is essential you do an Explorer Full Backup. _________________ Richard
