hi all,
having some issues with this unit.
couple of Qs i hope can be answered.
thanks in advance

1. Can you delete the history of addresses you have been to?
2. Can you input other countrys postcode (germany) as i can only see uk and netherlands.

thanks

1. no, only with resetting to factory settings.
2. yes, choose normal adress entry and just type in the postcode instead of the cityname

Hi tareko and welcome aboard.

1. The Recent Destinations are held in the .cfg File, found in the Map Folder. If you delete the File, TT will, on the next re-start, generate a new .cfg File. You will of course lose all your Personal Settings.

The list has a limited size, so if you keep adding new Destinations the oldest will fall off the end of the List.

2. There are only 2 countries in Europe that can pinpoint a few locations, within a few hundred yards, with a single Postcode. Other countries Postal References cover a larger area, that cover a complete district, which makes it no more accurate than inputting a Town/Village.

problem is, i tried entering a town where a holiday inn hotel is in berlin, and it cannot find it,
so in this instance what would i do?

All I can find is that that the place is called Schonefeld. The Postcode gets you close but the rest of the address probably refers to the Airport.

If you check on the Internet the Holiday Inn is at the Airport, which can be found on the Map with the POI.

Not a lot of help I know. Sad

cool thanks.
did you do a postcode search on the tom tom?

I used the Postcode and it gave me several roads to choose from. I just picked the first (which happened to be near the airport).
