TT are now including the 'latest' Postcode file with the latest map. It works exactly the same - the only 'benefit' is that it is downloaded, and installed, at the same time as the map (and doesn't need any other User Input).

At least, that's the theory. You should see TWO updates to download - the new map AND the new postcodes. I did with the first device I updated, but not with the second one.

Probably because it then found a Folder called zipcode, containing the CAB File of Postcodes.

Just a guess, but we are talking HOME. Smile

Yes, Richard, my own thoughts exactly. HOWEVER the effect was that it did NOT install the new 895 postcodes on my GO550 Live. Strange that TT insiost you have to have more than one ID if you have more than one device, but more than one device proves beyond them to update the postcodes. Not Strange - TomTom. Twisted Evil

Exactly the same with my 550 Live. Got the new map but no mention or download of 895 zip

I'm about to download my latest map update,now excuse me for being dim but what's the new thing re. the postcodes? I thought that a postcode search has always been available,you type in the postcode then the house number. Sorry guys Embarassed


The other thing that I think makes it confusing (to me at any rate!) is that TomTom have described the download for the new postcode files as "Navigate to postcodes" as if it is a new feature, rather then simply calling it "Postcode data update" or something like that.

Home is offering 2 "Navigating to a postcode" downloads, one is being shown as 1.9MB, the other 8.8MB.

Isn't one for the UK and the other for the Netherlands, Jock?

(I can't check as I was not being offered them, last time I looked).

Maybe they're offered for the x40's like Jocks but still not on the x50's

I'll check once the map download has finished - I deselected the postcode files.

Apparently not - or at least there's no difference in the descriptions!

The large one is UK, the smaller NL.

I thought the large one would be the postcodes and the smaller the version information. If the large one is UK and the smaller the Netherlands, where is the Singapore data?

I think they've amalgamated all the data for the three countries into one file?

When I downloaded the files, I did it separately. Looking in the ZIP folder, the Great_Britain set all have one timestamp and the Nederland ones have another, a few mins later.
I don't have a map covering Singapore.
