New 930T Map version, Post Codes not working

[sdm197]

Hi All,

I have got a new 930T, is the latest map for it V8.05?

On mine it has V800.1762

Also if I go to the TomTom website will it allow me to update all the mapping i.e. Western Europe & USA under "The Latest map Guarantee"? The other thing I noticed is that on my 920T Guam was included, it is missing off the 930.

Finally the Postcodes are not working properly, when I try to navigate to a postcode it accepts the first 4 digits and displays suggestions underneath as normal but not the last 3, I think I recall other peeps having trouble with 930's I will run a search to find an answer, unless someone can give a quick link to save me the trouble.

All replies welcome,

Hi,

Done all my searches,my wrists are stinging where they have been slapped

It definitely appears Guam has been removed, there are not any threads specifically about it, but this is strange as Tom Toms website still list it as being a separate map included on the unit, if you check the maps tab on the 930 info. Not that I will be probably driving in Guam , but thats not the point.

All the other parts of the post have been answered,

You shouldn't need to do a search if people put meaningful topic titles. "tom tom help" etc is a bit vague.

Anyway there is a thread on the postcodes somewhere on the first three pages, but you need to be a clairvoyant to know from the title.

I had the same problem and downloaded the postcodes from the link supplied. They appear to be version 700 or something. I don't know if that means they are for a map of the same version number. I added them to my 930T and tried my own postcode. It now accepts the full postcode but it's got me at the next street. I am hoping this is just because the postcodes don't match my map.

Somewhere in that thread It suggsted emailing tom tom to ask for a version that suits the map installed. This is all balls as they just sent me a link to the same file

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the link, normally I do search, the problem I get is that sometimes you get literally hundreds of hits, and sometimes as you say it is not obvious by the name of the thread.

This is why we join a community, to help each other,

Thanks again,

Hi Anita,

You were right of course , I suppose its because I spend so long on here searching for so many problems with Tom Tom, I was being a bit lazy.

The red marks are disappearing now! Still no harm done,

Thanks for your reply,

930tPaul. The link to the Post Codes is great, they look as though they are newer than the ones I have on my 520T. So I will change them over.
Well worth the new thread sdm197

Open the .ver file by right clicking it and select Open With/ Notepad and you will see what version of Postcode data you have - Mike

Mike. Both the same version 701. It was the 'Date Modified' that made me think it was newer. So when do they update them. Surely there are loads of new post codes with all the new builds going up around the UK.

As far as I'm aware the latest postcodes available are v701 UK and v710 NL. If your download versions (OR the ones TT give you!) do not have .ver files supplied with them, it is unlikely they are the latest ones.

The latest link above looks like it IS the latest, the direct link to the same thing is
