Hi,

I have a British (actually French!) I3, with North America on Micro SD card. I can get addresses by street name, but is it possible to do it with post/zip code, as on UK mapping? e.g. I want to get to Sth Manchester Avenue, Anaheim, California, which has a zip code of CA 92802. In UK, it asks for country, I pick England, then I stick the postcode in. With US maps, it asks for state, I pick California, then it asks for street, and won't accept CA 92802, CA92802, 92802 etc. Is it possible to do it by zip code?

I believe that it doesn't understand zip codes; I think this is because they cover a much larger area than a UK post code.

Post / Zip codes can only be used for the UK and one other European country due to the problem highlighted above.

I had a notion they also worked in Canada?
