Hi All,
I'm off to Carphonewarhouse's head office tomorrow and their post code is W3 6RS according to their site. I've entered this into digitools and it has a problem....is it me?
Cheers

Streetmap brings this postcode up as 'The location for this postcode is not accurate.' So it looks like it may not be just a TomTom thing.
At a guess this maybe a fairly new estate and that the postcode has only been assigned recently ie after TT3 was released.
Although knowing CPW I wouldn't be surprised if they got their own address wrong, they seem to manage to cock everything else up when I've had dealings with them ! |

There's a difference of some 1.2 miles between St Dunstans Avenue and CPW's head office at Wales Farm Road.
If you use TT3's in built post code search, W3 6 does not offer West Farm Road, although it does finds St Dunstans Avenue.
As JimM says, it does not appear to be confined to Niels' Postcode program. |
