That is the default method.

Have just had a look with an old version of firmware and you are correct, it did say "Done" in the corner where it says "Back" now. This must have changed when you updated the firmware so now you need to tap the postcode at the top of the screen to select it - just like most other screens.

thanks for looking
but i used it today and on some of the post codes did't show up correctly
so i had to put in the address instead.
i will give it a week to try it out.
but i may put the old one back in.
at least with the old one it alway talk you to the right address, there was no need to put the full adress in. |

Don't know what you meant by "not working right"....
Do you mean the display isn't how you like it? As described above, it simply doesn't look that way any more.
Or do you mean that some specific postcodes are wrong?
Or do you mean that you no longer have full seven digit postcode search at all?
Different problems, different solutions (if any). |

Your choice. Either use the old software and have postcodes input the way you are used to; or use the new software and have mapshare but use the current method of input.
You could also try the updated postcodes at http://62.250.16.51/customers/Nav/PostcodeWE1GB.zip. They may be more up to date than your current ones (Remember to back up first).
