| Posted by graycon Where to copy postcodes Hi there I have downloaded postcodes to my PC, which folder do I copy them to on my go 720? I also have a problem in that when I enter a postcode, not mattering what postcode it comes up no cities found. Any clues guys? I may be wrong but it would appear that postcodes for tomtom don't work in Australia. This is because of the size of postcodes in Australia, as compared to postcodes in Britain for example. Can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance |
| Posted by Guest Postcodes OV2 Once you have the .OV2 file along with the small .BMP picture file you will need to connect you TomTom to your pc but dont run TomTom Home. Rather search for the device in my computer, you should come across a folder called Australia. Inside this folder you should come across some other .OV2 files. Copy the downloaded OV2 and BMP files to this location. To then get the device to send you to a postcode you will do the following. Navigate To... Point of Interest POI near you OR POI near Home Tap the Postcodes option You may have to tap the find button then the numbers button to enter a postcode if you just have a list of postcodes near a certain location. |

| Posted by cyongt Postcode Hi, On the other hand, I am not sure how the .ov2 and .bmp files work as postcode, can anyone shed some light? :) Regards, cyongt |
| Posted by nicholasdavidroberts Postcodes To be clear... There is a big difference between POI and postcode files. The latter have a '.postal' suffix and are the only files that work with the postcode search functionality of the software. POI files can ONLY be used with POI searches. |
