Unable to do full post code search

Have just received a replacement Garmin i3 and currently doing all the checks. On my old i3 I coud do a full post code search prior to being prompted for house number. On my new one I get as far as entering the first part, and then it brings up all the options but still not in a full format.

So for eg. to search for AB12 3CD, I enter AB12 and it comes up with the full list of AB12 1, AB12 2, AB12 3......................etc. Is this a fault, or normal. Like i said, this didn't happen on my old one.

Please help

Thanks

Make sure you have the up-to-date firmware installed first.

Thanks for the responses

Haven't updated firmware yet, but will this really make a difference?

Tried Bd13 3qx and same happend. As soon as I get to Bd13 3 it doesn't allow me to enter the full code??? Very confused?

Mine (V8 maps 2.7 f/w) allows me to enter a full postcode before asking for a house number.

I just tried it again and MaFt's postcode worked as it should and found an address and your own example postcode worked but obviously couldn't be found as I assume it doesn't exist.

Thanks again for responses.

Put another way, the i3 will not allow me to enter a full postcode, its almost like it doesn't have a record of any postcodes after the 1st digit on the second half of the code - useless..............

It sounds like it is malfunctioning. Tried a reset yet?

As ever, premature moaning and whinging from me - u were all right, updated to 2.7 and i3 is working properly. I must have also had 2.3 when i first bought in september because i never had the postcode problem. I can't believe Garmin would have sold the i3 with that software on it???

Thanks to all for your help
