There is an occasional installation issue, follow this guide to install manually which will get it working, it's so good that you have to try it!

1. Download the 'TomTom Interface install Package' from the Digitools Download Page. Extract the 'TTNControl.arm.cab' file and copy this to the My Documents Folder on your PPC. Using File Explorer on the PPC, locate this .cab file and double tap to install it. The .cab file will self delete following installation.

2. Again using File Explorer create a folder on your storage card called 'UKPostCode'. Download the 'UK PostCode Database' .zip, extract the 'ukpostcode.dat' file and copy to the folder you just created.

3. Finally, download the 'UKPostCode Executable' (there are different versions for PPC2003 AND PPC2003, and copy to the same folder. Browse to this folder via ActiveSync on your PC, locate the UKPostCode.exe file, right click and select 'Create Shortcut. Rename the shortcut you have just created to 'UKPostCode'. Copy this file to Windows\StartMenu\Programs on your PPC again using Explorer via ActiveSync.

If all has gone to plan you will find the shortcut located in Start | Programs. Double Click to launch. I personally dedicate a Hardware Button to this excellent app.
