TomTom XL help

Postby Snap » Sat Jun 09, 2012 6:21 pm

Hello,

Ive been given a tom tom XL. It needs updating.

One thing i really want to change is that when entering an address, it asks for a postcode, but not the full postcode just the first bit then you have to enter a street name. I'd like to be able to use a full postcode. Which NavCore should i use?

Thanks.

It would help to know what navcore & map are currently on the unit.

BTW, postcode is a map feature, not a navcore feature.

LATEST POSTCODES Version 890 (GREAT BRITAIN, NEDERLAND & SINGAPORE) Postcode V890
Extract and copy the "Zip" folder to the root of your TomTom.

Thanks Tendriver.

I went to 'Show version' and here's what i got:

App: 8.415 Os: 344750
Map: Western and Central Europe 2GB v. 845.2645

I like the layout so i guess i could get away with not changing the NavCore and just changing the map to a one which accepts full postcode?

Can you point me to the tutorial on how to just add a new map and keep the same navcore?

Ive had a look at the other tutorials and cant seem to find the one I need.

Current W&CE map requires 4GB of memory. You can use full postcode on any map with Postcode V890 installed.

Also can you point me to the tutorial on how to just add a new map and keep the same navcore?

1. GB = Gigabyte or Great Britain?

2. It is so simple, that a tut isn't necessary.

Download & unzip the new map.
Cut the old map folder from the device.
Copy the new map folder into the device.
Go here: AutoActivate & FastActivate 1.8.8.6 Read the instructions. Download FastActivate Premium. Run FA & click the first three buttons one at a time, from left to right.
disconnect & reboot.

The ONLY 890 UK & ROI map that is available & is below 2GB is version 4234. This map doesn't have any features.

Don't worry about full postcodes. I have posted twice about how to fix the issue, but you don't seem to be paying attention.
