Hi Guys

Firstly what a great site, unfortunately so much information to take i decided a post would be the best option.

I have just bought a IPAQ 3970 with tomtom3.07 installed, problem is i am totally new to pda's and satnav software. So guess a lot of reading to do.

I have worked out most of the functions and i have ordered a card reader, cradle and new 256mb card. the tomtom is loaded on the 128mb card i received with the pda.

I run a car club and do a lot of shows and thats the main reason for the purchase, one of the main places of interest is santapod raceway at northampton

I notice the tomtom softare does not recognise this place, either by postcode or local address which is poddington which is a little dissapointing.

Can you guys advise if there is anything further i should add to this setup any other add ons or software from this site which will help and enhance the setup i have

Please

Mike Wink

It appears as Podington (Bedfordshire), but it IS the one you want! Try entering Airfield Road and you will see the first 5 characters of the postcode, ie NN29 7.. When you look up Santa Pod on Google you find their postcode is NN29 7XA. QED
