Read every post re this, still can't get full postcode search. I have a ZIP folder with the UK and Netherlands postcode files on the SD and a TomTom folder. I have duplicated these folders as recommended by TomTom, in the My Documents folder of my XDAIIi.

When trying to do a postcode search, I don't even get the option of the Netherlands postcodes, I am definitely using the address, then postcode icon from the Navigate To screen.

Any ideas what I can try next?

As I understand it, the Netherlands Postcodes only come into play if you have a GPS Fix that is in that country.

There is a workaround if you want to use Advance Planning A-B, but I can't find it, or remember it, for the moment.

I deleted the copy of the ZIP folder that was in My Documents, there is now just one ZIP folder, in the root of the SD, with the 9833K Great_Britain.Postal file and the Great_BritainPostal.ver file. The two Netherlands postcode files are in there as well.

Full postcode still doesn't work. How does TTN6 know to use these files? Where is it looking up the short postcodes? The main map folder?

There should be 2 files in the zip folder, one is a XX.bmp and the other is an XX.ov2 file...

German zips are working for me..

When you Tap the Postcode Icon it looks in the Root of the Storage Device for a Folder called Zip. It then runs a small app that returns the co-ordinates for the inputted Postcode to the Main Software.

The Short Form Postcode is embedded into the Map Data.
