My bad.... Sometimes it gets confusing trying to work out what you've got ..... and what it eventually becomes. Wink

I have been happily using French Postcodes ever since I upgraded from v5 to v6 in 2006/7 (I'm a real dinosaur as I'm still using such old software on an IPAQ H2210) and I have never had a problem with it. I'm too stupid to have installed anything fancy so it must be available as standard. Good luck HOGGY. Surprised

Or rather I see it can be done but not why TomTom thought it was a good idea to leave this out in the initial releases - or leave it out on the iPhone.

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up - it's tedious, not a hack Smile

Why they left it out initially has been discussed at length, TomTom blame delays and issues with software forced it be omitted at launch.

But the iPhone isn't entirely their fault. As it's a closed system there hasn't been a really user-freindly method to enable support (although other apps have resolved it). But I hear that this omission is being looked at by Apple and so we can hope that, if Apple enable it properly, TomTom will add support.

Will the Start 25 support the CamerAlert Database?

Slightly off topic but many peeps are mentioning Nav 3s "Lost" features.

Is the Shortest, Quickest, Avoid Motorways options still missing?

And can you "Navigate To - Custom POI - Along Route"?

TIA

If you search the forum you will see it has been discussed in depth. Is that 500 POIs in a single group or 500 POI groups?

I'm guessing the former, and if so, pretty easy. But for our speed cameras, we can have 20 or more groups and that is time consuming to install.

The process has been improved lately but I have yet to try it.

For the improved system, see my post about the "Content Transfer Assistant" here. Smile

For various reasons my mounting of choice now is a 'bean bag' type mount.

Would the Start 20 series mount work with the bean bag? the surface where the suction cup mounts on the bean bag is slightly recessed, can the geometry of the Start 20 mount work with this?

Hi,

Could someone please confirm if the Start 20 will allow you to input Longitude and lattitude cordinates?

Also can I use the PGPSW database on the unit?

Thinking of buying one tomorrow

Thanks in advance
