Anyone know the price? - I for one don't think it is worth the effort downloading and installing anything (and possibly upsetting your installation) if it is more than you are prepared to pay for the feature.

Jose, would you please answer the question. I had a look on your site and could not find the price either.

Not only DID I click the link, but I have just clicked it again - and still couldn't find the price.

Seeing the previous post I can now see where the price is to be found - but take it from me (a professional software tester) that it isn't obvious - and if it isn't obvious to me - it is probably not obvious to many others (the previous posts seem to confirm this).

Now that I know the price - it is reasonable - I will try it out.

I am trying out the Geopostcode add-on for CP 5 at the moment. It looks promising, but I have only just begun.

One thing that is clear straightaway is that it does not in any way interfere with CP 5. It produces .trp files which are pulled into CP 5 when setting up a new route.

I have now had a good look at Geopostcodes for Copilot 5 and, assuming there are not many bugs and postcode errors or omissions, it is certainly going to help me.

I visit hundreds of addresses each month. Many are in rural areas where CP 5 cannot find them with its 5-digit postcode datbase. Also, I have lately been working in cities, where much of the time CP 5 cannot find the addresses because its database address search does not work properly in the wards and former villages (for details, please see the thread entitled Copilot 5 database defiencies).

Basically, what Geopostcodes does is find a destination or list of destinations or stops and saves the results as a CP 5 trip file, which will be used by CP 5 exactly like one of its own trip files.

As far as I can tell, it is not possible to use Geopostcodes to produce POIs based on 7-digit postcodes.

In summary, Geopostcodes ovecomes a significant limitation in CP 5, and I am pleased to have found it..

Hi Ponderous,

Thx for your comments.

I would be more than glad producing more features in my software for CP5 as it does for TTN 2 and 3.

Unfortunately every email I sent to ALK, including a recently one to D. B. still awaiting for answer and I was just asking for a collaboration or an SDK, even paid like TomTom one.

The program you're running has the same core as the one for TomTom, so the same capabilities. But no one can be developed further without information or SDK.

But that lack of communication with makers of Navigation systems is some thing that I must be used, more in the way they are taking, getting the best third part ideas in their software is like to have staff working for them for free, and later trying to do business with it through fees for added services.

Hi Ponderous,

As one who is now using the trial version of this supurb add-on for CP5 I can't believe how difficult it's proving to pay/register it!! Nomada suggests in a post on the Geopostcode's forum that doing a 'seller search for Geopostcode' on eBay will, I assume, enable me to buy it through eBay...... Oh no it doesn't! It's very frustrating.

For what it's worth this inexpensive, (£8.00), add-on for CP5, for me anyway, almost makes CP5 do just what it says on the tin, it's a vast improvement. But I would like to continue using it after the 15 day evaluation period!

Is there any way of buying this program WITHOUT using E-Bay?
