On my 530, I only have UK postcodes, so which ones you get is determined either by the map on your device, or the device code.

So Home is telling slight porkies where it describes them BOTH as "This file allows you to navigate to a location in the UK, the Netherlands and..."

With my 930T I havent got the option to update postcodes via Home - I have always used the link to TT to manually download the latest files. Looks like I am stuck with 890
Anyone else impacted like this and have anyy solution?
Thanks
Jeff

Hi All
I've also had the issue with TThome offering postcodes for my 720 but not my rider 2?
So for a change and as I was board I asked TT customer services via email.
The answer I got was
Remove TT home from computer (I allready had the latest version I checked)
Remove home folder from computer
reinstall
Expecting this to be a waste of time, but for a laugh I tried it.
You could have knocked me down with a feather when it worked!!!
So for once TT customer services got it correct and helped
All the best John

Hi John
Although I had downloaded oldboy's file I thought I would try your method ala TTom.
Yes, this way Home gave me the 2 Navigate to Postcode downlaods, it also gave 2 Postcode files.
On updating - I then find that the postcode verions are 701 ! Does anyone know why.
I have now replaced with the Great_Britain 895 file and my old 890 Netherlands file

Weird ?

Went through the same process deleting and reloading Home etc - and this time I didnt load the two "postcode" files - just the "navigate to" ones which do say 895.
Next thing, how to stop the two v701 postcode files keep appearing on the update screen ?
