|
Firstly Hello everyone :D New here and this is my first post.
Anyway this site is great and very informative, however been looking and can't find what I need help with.
Basically when I first got the 910 and went to postcodes, it came up with two icons, UK and Netherlands. Since I picked UK (GB) the NL postcodes has not come up and I really need to put some info in, as we are going to the NL in a couple of weeks. The only way I have managed it is by going in to places ect. but this does not show full postcodes for the NL which I thought the 910 did.
If anyone understands this post (well done) I do tend to ramble, then please could you tell me what it is I am doing wrong, or what I need to do.
Many Thanks
Amanda  |

| I also can't get the NL Postcodes to work on my TT One ever since I got it and installed my TT5 upgrade map. Al lthe component fuiles are there, but if I search postcodes on the Dutch map it searches the UK database. I don't rememebr ever being asked which postcodes I wanted ot use. They both worked when I had TTN5. |

When i got mine i did not get that you could try a soft boot ie put a pin in the hole for it to do a reset.
If not post a nl post code if you have one and ile see if it works on mine |

It's a bit tricky, because the v6 software became too smart. When using a map with both GB and nL in detail, and a GPS fix in GB, this will automatically select the GB postcodes. When in Holland, it will automatically select the NL postcodes.
When outside either of the 2 countries, you will always get the question to choose.
To fool this system, you need to plan an A-to-B route with startpoint A in Holland. Then start the demo for this route. If you now search for postcode, you will get the NL postcodes.
Maybe it also works if you set your Home location to somewhere in Holland (or at least outside GB)

Thanks for that :D … Spot on!
Run a Demo between two points in The Netherlands… It then brings up NL postcodes (But not UK)
Run a Demo between two points in France and it gives you the GB & NL codes!
Navigate within GB & it reverts back.
Not overly user friendly, but it does work! 
Incidentally changing “Home” to the Eiffel Tower, didn’t work.
I did this indoors without a GPS fix. I don’t know if this made a difference.
Thanks again.
