Hi there, I consider myself to be fairly computer savvy. I installed the upgrade yesterday and its running fine. Used it last night for a 170 mile round trip and found it very good.
I think it will take some getting used to, but I like the being able to create my own POI groups as I am a LPG driver and log all the LPG stations as I pass by.
Anway, I installed the postcodes, from what I can see, it put them into a seperate folder called ZIP - I cant click on the file as it says it needs a application to open it.
When I try to navigate via postcode, as I type it in, it only pulls up the city name not a post code address - any idea why this is ?
anyone got the postcodes working ??? - The post codes were the ONLY reason I upgraded and I am not happy about it at present.
basically, when you install the postcodes, it puts them in a folder called zip.
your maps are in a folder called Great britian maps or something like that.
all of the above are on your CF /SD card.
You NEED to have for some unknown reason a empty folder called tomtom (all lowercase) in the ROOT folder of your CF / SD card. By just creating this folder, it started to work right away.
nothing else to it.
I installed the Plus maps first, then took them out to put the GB maps in thinking that was the problem, but NOT.
I now have the Postcode working on the GB maps and unless I run into a problem I will NOT be loading the plus maps unless there is a good reason.
The postcode thing takes a bit of getting used to as it does not use spaces..... but it works from what I have seen.
