Do any of you lot know much about it?
Wondering if any of you can suggest a bit of satnav software that does 'full postcode' recognition. Am using tomtom5 on me PDA, but it doesn’t do full postcode, only works from the first 3 letters of the postcode. Say I input the post code MK88EH, it takes me to the MK8 then I have to select the street name, and often if its a long street/road it has several different postcodes! Hence it’s causing me problems and costing me time out on the road!
So do you know of owt that does full postcode recognition? :-k

I use a garmin streetpilot i3. Uses full postcode recognition or town and road recognition. Costs a fair amount less than a tomtom too.

File is called:
Great_Britain

Now, go to start, programs and choose "File Explorer"
At the top Change to "My Device"
Press and hold the "Pen" on a blank area of screen and then choose "New Folder"
Call the folder "zip"
Now copy the "Great_Britain" File into this directory.

in summary, you should have the following
\My Device\zip\Great_Britain

Hope that makes sense... you should have the postcode file on the DVD :)
