Search on postcode

[mj1]

hi there when i just want to find an area by postcode only when it asks for an house number do i just put 0 and it will then navigate me to that postcode thanks

There is a problem with this on the i3 - search the forums and you will find a few threads.

Basically - you need to put in the house number. If the address doesnt have a number, you can use any number, but it aint necessarily accurate. Some have reported that if you choose 0 several times, the i3 will start navigating to back to earlier searches.

I've found this annoying recently too - I tend to stick the number 1 in when I don't have a number and then just choose one of the addresses it comes up with.

Not always accurate but it's a starting point.

But not always worthwhile. As I've said before on here, using my work address as an example - we have no number - and is basically a country house in the middle of nowhere.

I can search this on multimap, streetmap, AutoRoute etc and it gives me a pretty precise location. Using the Garmin and selecting a variety of numbers gets me nowhere near. Obviously I dont need to nav to work - but my clients might.

Seems odd that all other mapping sites and progs I've tried can do this, but the Garmin cant

My job involves me travelling to construction sites and farms etc in the middle of the countryside. They never have a number, but all have a postcode. The Garmin just wont get me there. I've had to sit and create a csv for work sites and upload it. Works, but no good when I am called away at last minute and dont have time to add it to the csv.

Pretty big failing in my opinion - a post code search that will only direct you to houses with a number....
