hi there all
once again me !
as before i got ipaq 1940 with tomtom3
when i put a place in to navigate to it will not find the street!
i put in the city , for example reading. then attempt to put in street name ie tinsley close , and tinsley close does not come up , how ever i put it in !
which seems very stupid .
if i then search on the map and look for it i find it , which is good .
anyone got any ideas why it does not find it in the street section ??
am i doing something worng ?
it does it with most places i look for !
i have loaded the GB map ,
any advice is greatfully appreciated !
cheers
ivan

Try putting in 'Earley' as the City. _________________ Tim |

Treat suburbs like cities, for example Lower Earley instead of Reading input as your city will quickly find Tinsley Close. I have found several peculiarities like this and finally decided to download the excellent postcode program by Niels Thomsen; smartest thing I ever did (my job entails finding up to four or five obscure addresses daily, and this program has never let me down yet). It's free of charge at www.digitools.co.uk |
