It looks as if TomTom are at last offering the updated zip files via HOME. Surprised

Just accepted the download (after doing a backup of course) and the Great_BritainPostal.ver is the same as the one I'd previously downloaded manually (890), but the Great_Britain.postal is now 8992KB compared to 8892 previously, so presumably it's been updated since May.

Seems to be working OK, but I've never experienced any problem with postcodes.

That's strange, mine's the other way round! GB last modified 02/08/12 and Netherlands 26/06/12. My backup shows both as 26/06/12 (I think I downloaded them again in June because someone reported a problem with them).

Interesting. Mine now (still) show filedate 16 Nov 2011, modified today. And I now have a tlv file for each.

It offered them for my GO550 Live, but has not done so for my GO520.

Got it for the 550, but not offered it for the 530.

Have map version 890 on 550, but 885 on the 530, so wonder if that might be a possible reason?

I just tryed update my TomTom One (v6?) before I go away tomorrow and the postcode update failed. Now I seem to have an incomplete postecode database in a random order. Totally useless.

Home is not updating this anymore. Any ideas how to force the update work or even restore the old postcode database?

Just grab this & once extracted, replace your old zip folder with this

Download this file:

Use WinRar to extract the contents to a folder in the root of the unit named zip (all lower case).

Thanks justbrowing and dhun

Sorted. It's a bit odd though. I only have UK and Ireland mapping, so don't need to update Dutch postcodes. Maybe why the Home update failed.
