Are you using Navigate to then entering the postcode?

If you are, go to the next page Postcode Search and enter the full postcode without a space between the numbers.

Also, to make the Full Postcode search work, you have to add an empty folder to your SD Card and name it tomtom.

Thanks for the reply. :D

The Medion Md96800 uses Navteq by Navicon
How would putting in a tomtom directory help?

My parents live in postcode DN17 2SF, this street has been around before most of the town but doesn`t exist in Destinator Lite (OK, I know but PN on order). I tried, City, Street, every combination to no avail. Then, on a whim I tried it with the next street down from it DN17 2SN, low and behold I got their road and house number to select from! I had to ring them to ask the name of this road, Laughing Out Loud

. I can live with one or two simple errors like this, simple note in the address book to add N to the nend instead of S and its sorted.

Sometimes I check destinations out on the computer, where time allows, before making the journey and keeping the results on my Pocket Computer. I then print out a list I keep in my wallet, as this includes stuff like avoiding this road and that road to make it go the way I want, not the way it wants. Hope PN helps with some of this Wink
