Postcode navigation - an alternative?

[Kieran]

I very nearly returned my TT2 because of the lack of postcode search and until TT come up with an improved solution (not holding my breath) I was wondering if there was another solution.



Maybe this is impractical because of the size but would it be possible to put all the UK postcodes in a POI? I'm no expert but if possible this would be a fairly good interim fix. Someone must have a database of the co-ordinates of all the UK postcodes.



Feasible or not?

Maybe bolting something like this on the side of TTN2 is a solution?

The time it takes to find an address is a major let-down in TTN. If this postcode search could be integrated

via the SDK it would be an outstanding package

I used to have a list of Postcodes and Co-od's that go with them which I found on usenet a few years back.



I'm not sure if I still have it, but it I do then I can probably convert it to a POI database for TTN. Does anybody know of a way to generate TTN POI files in perl - just details of the format would suffice.

I use a gprs phone and my pocketpc. By going to http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?GridConvert?name=388788,232052&type=OSGrid you can convert a postcode to lat/lon which can be entered into navigator.



dont worry thats not my home address, just tewkesbury council offices :-)
