2006-2 SatNavPro DVD: Postcodes?
Does anyone here use the 2006-2 DVD- has the postcode entry been removed from the point where you'd normally enter the town/city?
Thanks. Viv |

I don't understand you why you say that, Viv. If the dealer said that postcodes don't work and the 2006-2 disc doesn't support postcodes, seems to me the dealer was correct.

330m's post about the dealer's comment doesn't make that very clear. Did the dealer mean that particular disc or the navigation system? Future discs will allow postcode entry, as previous discs have allowed. If the dealer had mentioned all of the above, then I wouldn't have hesitated in thanking him. However, based on what 330m has said, I think he deserves the kick. He should have told 330m that future discs are expected to allow postcode entry again & the 2006-2 disc has an error which is a known fault of Navteq. From what 330m has said, I'm assuming he was 'p*ssed' because his dealer told him the satnav system couldn't handle postcodes, not the disc. In my book, not giving accurate, appropriate & relevant info is as poor as not giving any info at all, so that is why I think the dealer deserves a kick, Floyd! All the best. Viv |

I have 2006-1 and I was pissed cos I though the system couldn't do Postcodes. (I previously enquired about 2006-2 disc and the dealers wanted £250+VAT for it so I told them where to go)
Tried postcodes last night, and as SoYank said you can only put in M20 6 (example), then it stops. I still have to put in the street name and number. But when you put in the street name only, it filters down to the few occurences of the name anyway. Like our street 'Atwood Road' is the only one in the UK, so the postcode is no use. I suppose if you were going to 'corporation street' (of which there are hundreds) then the postcode would narrow it down quicker. I'm sure it will come in handy in the future.

Also, I stand by my earlier comment that the product is defective. NavTeq should have to replace the disc without charge if so asked.

330m probably doesn't know this, but we had a whole load of trouble at UK1, where those of us who had SatNav Pro, used it to get to the curry house, but ended up in the wrong village, with the same first half of the postcode & the same street name! It made the drive there a whole lot more enjoyable though! |

I also have the pro nav with 2006-2 disc. It seems that there is a c**k up on the disc but they wont be renewing it but i expect to get a 2007-1 disc when its out free of charge and i hope it will have full postcodes on it.
