gallois Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Is anyone else running V3 (Igo 8.3 I think) having problem with UK postcode searching? Previously I could type a 7 digit postcode into the city box and the unit would pretty much do the rest - didn't need to enter house number or anything. Now I add the postcode it's registered but then asks for more info like street name or house number. That's really frustrating when you are say visiting a hospital which doesn't have a house number. With some of the postcodes, even center of street is greyed out so the only option I have is to enter a random house number. Is there a setting that I've not activated somewhere or is this just a feature of the new maps? Well it's a downgrade if it is because the previous maps had a full 7 digit postcode feature that didn't require any further data and was pretty accurate. Any help out there to resolve?

glangri2 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Have you sorted out this issue yet ? I am on the verge of buying a F710BT, but am holding back until I understand the Postcode search issue. I haven't found anywhere with a 710 on display and wired up, but in Halford yesterday I played on the F900 they had, and it wouldn't let me enter more than the first 4 digits ! I am used to a portable TomTom, and the the Factory Ford System. Both of these have simple 7 character Postcode searching. Not being able to do a postcode search would definitely be a downgrade in my opinion. Before you changed maps, were you able to do a normal 7 character search? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
