Hi all. I have finally got tomtom navigator 5 to work on my XDA mini S thanks to you lot here (which I really appreciate) but now I just need a little more help.

How and where can I get addons for it, such as speed cameras (all types) etc. but especially what I want is a FULL postcode search, not just the first 5 digits of a postcode, eg AB12 3CD instead of AB12 3.

Hope ive explained this properly, thanks for your time and look forward to more of your help :D

If you have TTN5 and V5 maps you will have the full Postcode facility.

Use Navigate to .... > Right Arrow > Postcode.

The Speed Cameras are just POI files that are copied to the Map Folder.

Have a read of this, although written for the GO series, the POI work the same.

For the postcode search to work, you must have a folder in the root of the storage card called tomtom ..... the folder does not have to contain anything, it just has to exist... (mmm... very strange I know) ... once you have done that, then the advice from Oldboy is spot on and it works great Smile

hi again, thanks for your replies. I have ttn5 and the tomtom folder but not sure what the version of the map I have. as I said all I can do at the mo is the AB12 3, then I have 2 scroll through about 20 streets Laughing Out Loud

Are you trying this in the "address" option in the find by view - that only uses 5 digit. Instead go to the next page and there is a seperate postcode option. That is the one that gives you the 7 figure search.

[i]as I said all I can do at the mo is the AB12 3,[i]

Don't include the space e.g. AB123CD

Your all brilliant! :D Thank you all so much. Everything is working fantastic, just one more problem now, getting my BT Gps bluetooth receiver hooked up to it. But Ive created a new topic for that Wink

Using 'Advanced Planning' indoors, I can input the 7 digit code ok, but then what? It just sits there staring at me asking me to select from a number of towns/streets etc. (And I have a seperate tt folder in the root)
