Update to 7 digit postcodes?

[Kremmen]

The TA10 and TA20 are just power leads with a built in aerial. The traffic receiver needs to be in the unit itself.

Good to see I'm not the only one who bought it Bav, picking mine up tonight so will have a play & confirm...

I presume from what you're saying there is 7 digit postcodes?

Oh you say 2 maps only, can you put more on an sd card?

[BAVC10]

Yes, you can put more maps on an SD card if required.

Full UK postcode functionality so not sure where Tesco came up with 4 digits from.

Picked it up last night & just updating it now to North America maps for when i go there.

It lists Full Europe maps, I presume this includes the UK will have a play later on & see how it works.

So you can only out 2 maps on the device but more on an SD card right? Are there any links on setting up and playing around with the device I can look at?

[BAVC10]

Yes, you can have more than two maps although the unit takes longer to boot up as it has to read all the data - doesn't affect it in use though.

Best way is to copy one of the GMAPPROM.IMG files to your SD card and then when asked you can select replace map option in GE and you'll have two on the unit and one on the SD card. Not sure I'd ever want every map on the unit though and you'd need a very large SD card too!

If you need a manual then go in to GE, select Tools and Content and then the Help & Manuals on the right and click to download.

OK I see thanks.

Where are those GMAPPROM.IMG file located as can't see them?

[BAVC10]

You won't see them unless you put the unit into MTP Settings menu - Mass Storage mode (don't select the Single Session). This will enable your PC to 'see' the Drive 50 as another drive (or 2 drives if you have the SD card inserted). If your PC also displays 'hidden folders' then you can go into the System folder and find them there.

A quick search on PGPSW will find the tutorials on how to do this step by step.

Cool thanks will look into that..

On my original query about postcodes, it only allows me to search the first half i.e. N12 or WC12 not the full postcode, are you seeing that too?

If so how can it be changed?

If anyone wants more detail on this unit (such as coverage ) then worth visiting here.

@rosspb

Not sure what you're trying to do. Are you doing a where to, address then inputting the postcode?

Bedford Road? My 2569 finds it, but that's absolutely no consolation to you, other than to know that it is in the Garmin lookup table.

7 digit postcodes work perfectly on the World Traveller edition.

Where To - Address - Enter Post Code and then type in the UK postcode (with or without a space) and the options will gradually 'grey' out as you type in the full postcode.

Make sure on the Address page that it says United Kingdom at the top.

Works the same as every other Garmin (Nuvi or Drive) that I've had.
