|
|
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? |

delete the copies of the zip file on the xda the zip file shuld sit in the root of the sd card ie the first level you see whem opening the sd card in file explorer or viewing it on the pc
you should be able to install it via the home software from the dvd _________________ currently using aponia truck navigation on windows phone. Good bye IOS don't let the door hit you on the way out .

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. _________________ Richard

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..
