|
|
As anyone bought the new maps from TomTom.
If so, can you tell me what post code FY6 8HY brings up.
I complained to TeleAtlas 3 or 4 years ago, and I'm wondering if it's been corrected.
Thanks. |

Hi Delboy
Mine also comes up with Main Drive. What should it be?

It shows being able to turn into it from either Carr Head Lane or further down at another junction with Oldfield Crescent on one side and Brockholes Crescent on the other.
Main Drive then has a loop at the end of it.

Thanks guys.
It supposed to be Carr Close. Anybody trying to deliver to Carr Close using the post code can't find it, as it usually comes up with main drive.
Whay I can't understand is, Carr Close as NEVER been Main Drive, it's been Carr Close for " 40+" years.
I suppose one day they'll get it right.
thanks again |

sorry about this I pressed wrong key so here's the rest,
Main Drive as it's own postcode of FY6 8HZ,
To complicate matters, there's Another Carr Close here,
Carr Close
Hambleton
POULTON-LE-FYLDE
FY6 9EW
NOTE the "Hambleton" part of the address.
and that's shown on all maps, and that's where everybody who want to deliver goods to Carr Close FY6 8HY go to.
See the problem their causing. |
