Help to convert list of postcodes

[Hamish]

I am using TomTom Navigator 6 (.ov2 files for POIs). I have a spreadsheet containing (UK) postcodes of some 330 locations, and a text description for each.

I also use a utility called 'makeov2.exe' for converting a text file of description, latitude and longitude into an .ov2 POI file.

However ... the missing link is turning the 330 postcodes into latitude and longitudes. Is there a simple utility available to do this?

My apologies in advance if: A) this answer is already out there in the forums, or B) if this is the wrong forum to post in for this information.

TIA

I also have a similar issue. I have 6,122 postcode records in a spreadsheet that I would like converted into an .ov2 Tom tom file so I can be alerted when I'm nearby a customer.

From my understanding of reading posts I need to convert the postcodes onto Longitide anad latitude coordinates before I can load them into Tom tom. Has anyone cracked bulk conversion of a list of addresses into tomtom poi. Do I need to employ a professional company or is there somewhere where I can do this en mass at an affordable price.

Thanks in advance for your help.
