 Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2005 10:03 am Post subject: TTN5 does NOT have FULL postcode search facility ?? |
 |
|
| I recently upgraded from TTN3 to TTN5 for my Ipaq 2210. Now when i navigate to a place using the PostCode feature, i only get the 4/5 figure postcode option !. My dad has the TomTom Go 300 and he can type in the exact postcode, why is this ?. On the link from TomTom it said if i upgraded then i would get the FULL postcode search facility, but i can only search as far as, for e.g SR1 5 !!! then it gives me a list of streets in the SR1 5 area, my dad can input SR1 5AA and pinpoint the exact street !. What am i doing wrong ? |

There is a bug in the installation I think. First make sure you have installed the postcode "map" from CD1. Then make a folder called Tomtom at the root of your storage card and it should start working (did for me).

Are you using the "Navigate to - Address to use the postcode search ? Instead of tapping on Address - use the Next icon & you'll see the full "Postcode" search icon |

Yes this is correct, click next in Navigate menu then go to postcodes...
One gripe though is it isn't as precise as the old Post Code Program I used with TT3, it seems to select one road with the postcode, even though many have more roads..
But it gets you in the right area anyhow. |

In the UK Postcode system a road can have 1 to many Postcodes, but a Postcode will only have 1 road. This information comes from the Post Office Website.
