Mapsonic 1.3 / Postcode Search!!!!

[chris221273]

Hey all,
Does anyone know if the Michelin/Mapsonic 1.3 navigation (on a Palm Tungsten E) is able to search for an address by way of a postcode?

I often do searches before going on a journey and can never find half the roads i want, and end up having to bring Autoroute up on my pc and then seeing where the road is and then actually zooming in on the actual map location on my PDA, which does seem a bit daft, as once i find the location the road is on there!!!!

It seems real daft that half the roads i want are never available when i type them in, yet are plainly on there for all to see!!!!!!!

Main reason is me, the wife, and the in-laws are going to Cornwall in September and we are going exploring all over and it would be helpful if i could find the roads properly.

Thanks in advance everyone.
Chris

By the way, just in case anyone wondered, i lost the manual

No MapSonic does not allow post code searches. You have to have Navigation 3.0 (I think 2.5 does it to but not point getting that when 3.0 is available.) Navigation is a worthwhile upgrade from MapSonic 1.3, with a cleaner interface and there is, at last, an upgrade path.

Thanks Honda.
Any idea how much an upgrade is and where i go about getting it???

You can get it through the ViaMichelin web site. You can't upgrade from MapSonic to Navigation, which is a pain, but I got Navigation 3.0 for about £100 after a rebate from Michelin.

Register your existing version, link halfway down the page, and you should get an email with a rebate code.
