It would have come with the map when you purchased your tomtom 6....
But as Im guessing you didnt then you should be able to get it fromt eh same place you got your TTn6. The latest im aware of is 604 for the postcode dated Jan 06 _________________ Visit Wayfinder Life for all your Wayfinder Navigator needs |

Do you use the TomTom database or the PocketGPSWorld camera database?
If you use the PGPSW camera database then it's best to use the POICapture software. please see here for submitting updates.

you drive 10,000 miles a month. I travel up to 3500 a week, on average 2,500 though. We are a sad bunch aren't we? I spend most of the time on the roads or in Hire cars in this country or client's cars abroad.
And the postcode files are so sadly out of date _________________ TomTom Go720 v8.320

Are you saying that the postcodes included with TT6 are worse than TT5? I have TT5 at the moment and to me the postcode is pretty good, TomTom couldn't have made it worse in TT6 could they? |

I have found OX* postcodes to be very accurate in TTNav6. Don't know about other areas though!

In my previous TTN5, I found that the Leeds postcodes were way out. I wanted the Novotel in the middle of Leeds and ended up in the middle of a field !
So I then got it to navigate me directly to just the postcode, not the postcode and building number and it took me to the door ! |
