Post Code Difficulty

TerryR · Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2005 1:02 am Post subject: Post Code Difficulty

I cannot seem to get the post code search working properly on my Tomton GO. I have the latest Great_Britain_Plus-Map on the SD card, and in this I have put the Great_Britain.Postal file (this is 8.41Mb, after unzipping,so I guess this is about right?).
When I go through the sequence Navigate to - Postcode - then enter a post code, only the first 4 letters & numerals are registered, then I have to put the street, etc in.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
(Please excuse me if am tardy in replying to any messages, but I am away from Sunday the 12th for a week!)

Did you put the Great_Britain.Postal file in the ZIP (not zipped) folder in the root of the SD card?

The path to this file should be something like that:

E:\ZIP\Great_Britain.Postal file, where E: is the root

Thanks very much - sorted!
I had taken the postcode file out of the zip folder and put into the Great_Britain Map folder!
Works perfectly now.
Thanks again.

If you have the latest Great_Britain_Plus-Map it allready has the Great_Britain.Postal file on it.

Didnt think this forum was to help people install Pirate software

So you think he's smart enough to install a cracked Plus map, but haven't got a clue where the post code file goes? Laughing

Has the latest Great_Britain_Plus-Map got the full postcode.

Map doesn't "have" the postcodes, but the postcodes databases do come together with 2005 maps of UK and Holland on SDs and I believe on CDs with MoWE. The postcodes reside in a separate folder called zip.

If TerryR had the latest maps he would not have been trying to unzip a copy of Great_Britain.Postal file on to his TomTom go.
It looked pretty Obvious to me what he was up to.

No idea, mate. Perhaps he was installing them from MoWE CDs? Could somebody enlighten us how the GB postcodes are installed from MoWE?

When you install the GB maps there is a further option to install the GB Postcodes. This installs the Postcode file in the Zip Folder in the Root of the SD card.
