Is Postcode Database update possible?

I have a TomTom GO 700 (App: 7.161 Map: Western_Europe v606.0). I recently tried to but in a postcode of a hotel I wanted to find and it is not in the database. When I tried to drill down to the actual street that the hotel is on it is not on the map. I am guessing that it is because the street is newer than the maps I have.

What I was wondering was is it possible to update the postcode database without updating the map? If there is a way where do I get the new database from, as I assume it is just a case of replacing the old postcode database win the new one.

Any advice would be welcome.

Updated postcode DB comes with the new map, so why not update the map. Then there is no garantee that the hotel is in the new DB!

I will as soon as i get a response from Tomtom. I see you have a more updated map then me (though that would not be hard) would you be willing to do a check on this postcode (PL6 5ZD) for me please and see if it is on your issue of the maps.

cheers

PL6 5ZD comes up as Tavistock Road on mine, just past the Derniford Roundabout going SW.

TomTom USED to supply a new postcode file with a new map (except when they forgot!).
I've raised a question with them....
