Getting the Postcode POI's into the iCN 500

[RichardN]

Has anyone managed to get all (or some) of the full Postcode POI files (you'll find them on this website) into the Navman? I tried to do it with just one after converting it from a .OV2 file to .ASC. The Navman POI editor took forever to load the file on the PC and then just locked up completely when I tried to download to the iCN.

Looking at the TT GO forum they don't seem to have a problem with downloading them onto that unit although having all of them slows the system down too much.

All I want to do is have the local postcodes in. Is there a limit to the size or number of POI's on the Navman system or was I just unlucky?

Sorry, forgot to mention I was using a file containing all of the postcodes for one area not the smaller files which are split up into individual postcodes (e.g HG or YO). This means there are 220,000 entries in a file of about 8 meg. I know that is a heck of a lot but apparently it works on the TT GO.

I wouldnt advise it, my father tried it on his TomTom and it just slowed the whole thing down.
