Hay Rat,
Could you confirm the location of where the zip file should go ive tried moving so many times im loosing the plot..

Any help much appreciated roud:

 

[Rat]

and Ill see if I can help u m8

 

[Rat]

Ive PMd u where I got all my files m8 as I see from ur other post in Bargain room u are having troubles with postcodes is that correct ?

the links I sent u have postcodes

Rat, you managed to get 7 character postcode search going? Ive got 7 character gb postal and put in zip file but stil ony allows 5 character

 

[Rat]

erm maybe Im confussed here ?
u mean like this

SS18 2GB ( made it up)

if yes then yes I can do that with tomtom on navi-go

 

[Rat]

here m8 is this what u mean ? (see attach)

 

[pks00]

yea, thats what I mean. It works fine with Mio Map and Turbo Dog.
I wonder if it depends on what version s/w you have

I have tomtom v6.201
UK maps v6.75

And supposedly great_britain.postal in the zip folder that does 7 character postcode search

At the moment, I enter 5 characters eg SS18 then have to search via street

yea, thats what I mean. Thanks.
The link you gave is to this thread. Ive got the two files that jay mentioned.

 

[Rat]

so what ur saying is,it works ok for me but not for u ?
I could PM u all the links to the places I got my files if that would help ?

yes. Im wondering whether the file I have got is actually the right one and someone messing about (I tried 2 different ones) or maybe the version of tomtom I have does not support it.

And thanks, would appreciate a pm

Pko and others, thanks for the link to Miomap. I was previously trying to install version 3.3 with text to speech on it and was getting the "Gapi for WINce" drop down menu when I tried to load it up. I couldn't get past that for some reason.

Anyway, Miomap 3.2 booted up OK although I am indoors and it won't get a fix on a satellite, or thinks I'm in Coventry for some reason.

The interface looks much more complicated to use as well. Someone kindly sent me a version of Tomtom today, which they said would work just by dropping the files to the SD card, so I will probably try that later.

Mio Map isnt too bad. It took me a while to get used to it but plenty of info and I like how the map display is. I got the uk map for 7character search on that and works a treat.
I had to try tomtom as well though. I do like tomtom as well and as I managed to get speed cameras to work on this, I am using this for the time being.

pksoo have you tried tomtom v6.00, that has full postcode search.
pm me if you want the link.

I forgot to mention that. I noticed it only has 5 characters in the postcode search. If you have the link for that map could you post it here? It would be muchus gracius appreciated. I might look into a fix for getting Miomaps 3.3 to run too. I will try Tomtom first though.

 

[Rat]

pks00 and franco PMs sent to u both with all links

Hey People, check this site out

Ok, all sorted. Thanks all.

It turns out that the version of tomtom was at fault. I used the "specified" version and although it asked me for an activation code when I initially picked UKmaps (I got round that by selecting Guam first), its all fine now and I now see an option to search by PostCode.
This was not previously there.

Much appreciated people.

good stuff pks000

yep, already got that sorted, had it going with the older version, all thanks to you as well of course - cheers bud!

lets see if it goes crazy with speed camera alerts when I drive down to Surrey on Monday (M25 camera's galore ) - thats if tomtom tells me to use M40.
Coming back on Friday from Surrey to Midlands, it told me to use M1 not M40 which I thought was weird.
Must be shortest or quickest route option or something.
