Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2005 1:49 am Post subject: UK Postcode (HELP!!!) |
|
|
Hi all,
I first came on the site a few months ago and found it a massive help with my new pocket pc and subsequently tom tom navigator. I downloaded UK Postcode which was a massive bonus. For some strange reason my IPAC decided to go mental tonight and completely reset itself loosing everything i had on it. Im gutted to see that now UK Postcode has been stopped by the saussages!! government!!! Luckily for me i still have the download file on my comp but cant remember the whole procedure for putting it on my pocket pc as it wasnt straightforward. Can someone post the instructions for installing it?
Thanks in advance!! :D
Leigh

Do you really want to put them on now? With v5 coming out in a matter of weeks?? and including Postcodes built into the software you wouldn't need a third party addon. _________________ Richard

I have exactly the same problem!
My iPAQ completeley reset itself. I guess I left it on but I would have thought it would have powered itself off!
Anyway, all very well waiting for V5, but I need the postcodes working now.
I also have the downloaded zip file, but just need the install instructions.
I hope that someone can find the instructions
Thanks

Here are the instructions which i found in another post:
Step One
The zip file contains five files: ukpostcode.dat which is the database, ukpostcode.exe which is the application used for the look-up, setup.exe which installs the TomTom hook, TTNControl.ini which controls the install, and TTNControl.arm.CAB which is the actual interface to TTN
Step Two
Place your PocketPC in the cradle and connect to the PC using ActiveSync.
Step Three
(Note that if you've already got CheckPOInt installed you don't need to complete this step. CheckPOInt will already have installed the necessary TTN support files. Simply carry on from step four.)
Use Windows Explorer to copy the 'TTNControl.arm.cab' file to the 'My Documents' folder on your PPC. Then, using File Explorer on the PPC, locate this .cab file and double tap to install it. The .cab file will self delete following installation.
Step Four
Use Windows Explorer to browse your PocketPC. Locate your storage card, create a folder called 'ukpostcode' on the storage card and copy ukpostcode.exe and ukpostcode.dat to it. It is important that the .exe file is in the same folder on the PocketPC as the .dat file, or it won't work.
Finally, create a shortcut to ukpostcode.exe and drag it to the "Windows\Start Menu\Programs" folder on the PocketPC (don't drop it in \windows\programs - it won't appear anywhere). This allows you to use the usual PocketPC method to attach ukpostcode to one of your hardware keys, or make it appear in your main menu. Having it hooked to one of the hardware keys is a particularly convenient way of accessing the program when TomTom is running.
Enjoy!!! |
