You could always reply with something like:

Thank you for the postcodes file. Just to satisfy my curiosity, could you tell me what version it is as there was no ".inf" file with it, so "Home" cannot tell me.

I doubt you'll get anywhere but it's worth a try....

Tell us how big Windows Explorer reports the file as (right click on the file and select "properties" then say exactly what it says for "size" and "size on disk" (should be four numbers))

We can then check it against a few other versions to see if it matches any of those.

Sorry Andy. I did get a .VER file (could'nt see it for looking at it) and it is version=704. Thanks for all your help and i am sorry if i upset you or was a bit pushy on this topic. Sad

Congratulations, you've got the newest version I've ever seen!
I shall be on to them again now... Would you mind if I quoted you?

And no need to apologise, I love this sort of detective work!

Do not sent it Andy

TomTom have sent me the Netherlands postcodes which is version 704. How stupid can you get. I really cannot believe this, I am about to blow up with TomTom. How the hell can they send me postcodes for a different Country when thet know i am in the UK and told them it was UK v504 postcodes i had. Burn In Hell

I am about to open a bottle of Miller Genuine Draft to calm down. The first time i have had a bottle before 8.30 PM for a long time. Rolling Eyes

.

Should also say that if you remember i sent my SD card to TomTom for a warranty repair because there back-up overwrote the previous one which made me loose my origional map. After telling me it is covered under warranty i now have an e-mail saying i owe them £50 for v675 W+CE map. So you must know how i am feeling right now. Guinness

After these i will let you know how i feel later on.

Andy which is the actual postcode file and where is it.
I have just checked through my bits on my computer and browsed the 910 stuff and the 720 stuff and can't find anything that relates to postcodes specifically.
I was reckoning that the 720 file would be the latest one?.... if i can find it!!.

Both version 701 GB and version 704 Netherlands are currently hosted on a site available to everyone. Andy has made it clear that nobody is allowed to link to it but it is easily found.
As I see it, if you have bought a TomTom device or new map you are entitled to the corresponding postcode file so it’s not theft like a pirate map would be.

Not bothered about where i can steal em from i have them already, it's just i cant find them through my computer, through home they show,

If you open up (wordpad) on your computer then go to file ot the top and then open. Search for your TT and then go to the zip folder, then open the .ver folder and you will see the version you have there. Wink

Thanks Ian, i know how to find them normally. As i said through home i can get my files up but through the computers tt home folders i.e. back ups downloads etc, it wont show a zip file.
Any other files i try to open and wordpad wont respond. Could be a prob with my system.
It's obvious my 910 has an old postcode file 514 WITH the 710 maps.
Only TT can do that Laughing

Thanks anyway.

Not sure what you are meaning Go-Go but the problem I was having was solved if i open wordpad first then look for the files through wordpad it seems to show the files ok. Does this help.
