I think TT3 only deals with the first part of the post code.
You need UKPostCodes via the Downloads page
It works brilliantly. Tie it to a button for instant access.

1. Yes load this excellent application http://www.digitools.co.uk/home.php

2. Not sure if you've loaded the app properly - are we talking about Checkpoint here?. Add it to the start menu and run t from there this will give you the icon from where you can get to the settings

3. Yes if configure Checkpoint to look at your Speed camera POIs and the POIs are up-to-date.

thanks for the quick response.
i'm trying to follow the instructions as to installing uk postcodes.
when it says
"Use Windows Explorer to copy the 'TTNControl.arm.cab' file to the 'My Documents' folder on your PPC. Then, using File Explorer on the PPC, locate this .cab file and double tap to install it. The .cab file will self delete following installation."
this part i'm having problems with?
once placing the cab file in my docs on the ppc, it won't install by double tapping?
i can extract the files before hand however and place them individually into my docs folder but not the way the instructions say?
can i do it this way or are the files in the cab file supposed to go into other folders?

many thanks
