i have recently purchased a Streetpilot I3 and it seems a wonderful peice of kit but i need help with a few things.

1. It hasnt got GMT time zone on it and i cant set the correct time on it i can find how to do it, someone suggested i contact Garmin and they will show me how but someone must know on here?

2. i dont have the postcode functionality on it, i did read that only the NT maps have postcode but ive found that the NT maps are not as details as the metroguide maps? how do i get the detailed maps with the postcode search for UK?

Hi and welcome.

1) Timezone - Use Europe Western (WET) The time sets itself once you get a satellite lock

2) You should be able to enter a postcode by selecting

Where To?, Address, Country Then it'll ask for City or Post Code.

Depending on your Firmware you might need to enter the space in the postcode. Newer firmwares don't need this. Latest Firmware is available click here

when i do that it says no state or no matches before ive even put a letter in so its basically saying their is no database of postcodes to search from?

Settings, Map, MapSource...

What does it say?

When you go to enter a PostCode what does it say across the top of the screen?

What postcode are you trying?

Where did you get the i3 from?

Why do you mention MetroGuide maps?

Mgeur9 it says as i have the metroguide maps installed i got it from ebay.

When i select address accross the top it says "Select State" and underneath it says "No Matches Found" and it says this no matter what i type in.

Metroguide maps are non-routable. There is a program called MetroWizz Click Here which apparently adds routing to the Metroguide maps but i have no idea on how to use it.

Otherwise buy the V9 maps from Garmin or wait until next year when the V10 maps are out....

i have used metroguide and metrowizz and that gives me the most detailed maps but as we both know that doesnt allow post code search, where can i buy City Navigator NT v9 with unlock codes?

Garmin website - I believe this is what you need - City Navigator® Europe NT However at $300 a new Nuvi might be cheaper. I suspect this is a full copy and not an upgrade. I can't be sure if you can upgrade from Metroguide to City Navigator® Europe NT.

The update site is here.

To be honest i would ask Garmin for guidance. On the one hand the upgrade should be about £45, however you might not be able to upgrade from Metroguide so you might have to fork out £150, in which case a new Nuvi might be a better option.

Just had this from Garmin regarding the V10 maps
